You need to study the core subjects that are compulsory as they provide a strong base for the field, opt for interesting electives to explore new concepts, and attend laboratory classes and intriguing workshops to get hands-on training regarding the mechanical design aspects. So, you will get a mix of both aspects with a strong inclination towards practical application to prepare you for a fulfilling career journey ahead.
