  1. Hello everyone, I am trying to decide whether to do a PhD in tribology or not. The problem is that my long term goal is to get a job in the industry not in the academia. However I don't know whether it is easy to get a job in the industry for someone specialized in tribology. Can you please share your opinions and experience about the tribology sector? Are there many job opportunities? My search over the internet returned some companies working in the tribology sector however the opinions of sb familiar with this industry would be valuable.
  2. Hello everyone, I am a mechanical engineer aiming at specializing in the field of manufacturing by pursuing a graduate study. Having searched over the internet, I tried to determine the most competent schools in this field(of course not the top schools but which my background would give me the chance to be admitted) and applied for admission to the following schools&programs: Worcester Polytechnic Institute, manufacturing eng. Michigan Technological University, mat sci&eng Illinois Institute of Technology, mech eng Lehigh University, mech eng Iowa State University, mech eng Case Western Reserve University, mech eng What I mean by manufacturing while describing my area of interest is mainly macro processing techniques like casting, machining, injection molding, etc. ( I am not interested in areas like nanomanufacturing for example). And my current career goal is to work in the industry rather than in academia. So probably the most important feature of a grad school to me is how much it will contribute to my CV to get a position in a manufacturing company in the US. Although the first 3 schools above have lower rankings than the latter 3, they prove out to be very competent in manufacturing. However, my findings are unfortunately limited to what I can find out on the Internet. Can you please share your opinions about the schools listed above and make comparisons based on your knowledge and experience? Thanks a lot
