Post Graduate Job Search

The Engineer 2014 · June 27, 2014, 17:57

Hello Everyone,

I am a recent mechanical engineering graduate from Lehigh University, where a spent a good portion of my senior year working directly in CFD and aerodynamic work. I am currently knee deep in job searching and was wondering if anyone could lend me some advice in terms of getting involved with CFD as a career. It seems very difficult to find any entry-level CFD positions for anyone with a bachelor's degree like myself.

My exact work's goal was to properly evaluate the 2D vehicular geometry of a vehicle myself, and a small group of colleagues created. The vehicle goes by "Xiphias Supercar Concept".

I would like to thank you in advance for your help and want to let you know that any sort of advice is deeply appreciated. Have a great day.

Just keep bashing away and sending in CVs.

You could also consider doing an MSc in CFD?

Thanks for the reply Totalsim. That is exactly what everyone I have spoken to keeps telling me. I believe an entry level job for around 2 years, and then return to graduate school for the MSc
