Why should we use MATLAB?

Engineers and scientists need a programming language that lets them express matrix and array mathematics directly. Linear algebra in MATLAB looks like linear algebra in a textbook. The same is true for data analytics, signal and image processing, control design, and other applications.Everything about MATLAB is designed specifically for engineers and scientists.MATLAB apps are interactive applications that combine direct access to large collections of algorithms with immediate visual feedback.

Why is Machine Learning important?

Recent years have shown that Machine Learning can be used to automate a lot of different tasks that where thought of as tasks that only humans can to like Image Recognition, Text Generation or playing games. Machine Learning is going to have huge effects on economy and living in general. Entire work tasks and industries can be automated and the job market will be changed forever.If you want to start learning about Machine Learning it’s the perfect time because Machine Learning Engineers are desperately needed because a lot of companies what to get there foot in the door of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Now that Machine Learning has all the attention it needs it’s on us the Engineers and Researchers to drive for new big advances in the field of Machine Learning.

Why is mechanical engineering the most popular engineering major?

That's because mechanical engineering is the basis on which other engineering fields stands on. Take a look at this: an electrical or electronic engineer wants to build a circuit or has already build the circuit, find he has done a marvelous job by doing that. But I stand to tell you that without a mechanical engineer conducting heat flow analysis on that circuit, I bet you the circuit will fry out in just a flip of the finger. So no matter what engineering discipline you are into, at the end of everything you must submit your idea to a mechanical engineer because he has the final say but a mechanical engineer can execute his idea without seeking the help of any other engineer in a different branch. So mechanical engineering finalise and send other engineering field into working without itself being inspected.
