the prompt wasn’t questioning why there aren’t more - it was asking where they hang out online.

discuss

order

The question is in the title. I addressed the title, but what I said still applies. There are less Mech engineers to hang out online because they swap to other fields.

I understand what you are saying but this is also a comment. No one is obliged to answer someones prompt when commenting.

Also my comment was based on my own experiences and the experiences of my peers. Out of a cohort of 300 engineers by the end of the course 80 to 90% dropped. Now when ever I meet someone who wants to go into engineering I tell them to step back do your own research, consider the ROI and determine if you want to do it because you love engineering or if you just want to make money.

I am one, I hang out here, Hackaday, the sparkfun and adafruit blogs, there is a solid design focused blog thing called "solidsmack". There is a cool podcast "being an engineer" (I'm one of the guests!).

If they end up doing software they probably hang out here ;) The other ones, I have no idea.

Maybe Hackaday and its forums
