Check out our Mechanical Engineering Build Fellow Pranav Meshram, PMP's recent Slack update about his Build Project! Originally from India, Pranav pursued a master's degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park, after completing a bachelor's degree in the same field. His passion for mechanical engineering began in high school when he developed an interest in motorcycle repairs. Since graduating in 2020, Pranav has worked in the automotive industry as a Program Engineer. Throughout his career, he has excelled in developing tooling and assembly fixtures that enhance automotive parts' thermal and acoustic performance. His favorite aspect of the job is collaborating with his team to brainstorm innovative solutions to complex engineering challenges. When asked about their experience, a student at CCSF said, ““I would say that one of the most useful aspects of this Build Project was to have a professional as a leader, that made me feel like one of them. Pranav was a great leader, I felt the most value in the feedback that I got from him. This project helps me to understand engineering more in depth so I definitely recommend this to all students, especially to those that aren't sure what to study… Since this is not a school project, but a real-life project it can give you a little taste of what that specific career will be like.” Pranav is an excellent leader and mentor, and we are thrilled to have him on our team! #H1BVisa #USImmigration #GlobalTalent #Innovation #OpenAvenuesFoundation #STEM #professionaldevelopment #networking #education #portfolio

Mechanical Engineer || Automobile Technician || Production Engineer || Lean Six Sigma Enthusiast.
Like many other engineering students in university, I somehow preferred lengthy notes and theoretical courses to pure calculation-heavy ones. Weird, right? Yes! And at first, it alienated me from having clarity about my career path. I was the technical guy—the one who preferred research and hands-on work, especially tasks that involved teamwork. That was my field. During my free time, I also read extensively about production trends and methodologies, sometimes prioritizing them over the school syllabus. While university penalized me for this approach, I still graduated with an Upper Second-Class Honours in Mechanical Engineering (Production Option). One practice that struck me most from my studies was "The Gemba" from the Toyota Production System. The Gemba involves actively observing and reporting on a series of processes or systems. It’s like a typical workshop manager’s role but with much more emphasis on active interaction between humans and machines and generating yields. When I first learned about it, it felt like a calling. I was so happy to finally find my purpose—a career in manufacturing engineering. My human skills are not perfect yet, but I’m improving by investing time in resources like #StephaneMoreau's Substack. I feel so fulfilled, and applying these management principles feels natural to me. Not everyone will code. Not all engineers will do design calculations. I’ve identified my path, and I’ll keep preparing. Maybe one day, my Kairos moment will arrive.

I have always been a firm believer of staying curious and never stopping the learning process. It started during my days studying mechanical engineering. Who would have thought that the stuff I learned during my engineering days would still be helping me today? Back then, it was all about understanding technical terms and solving problems, but those lessons still come in handy. I won’t say I have mastered everything, still far from it. I have fun with the challenges and find myself getting more curious with every step I take in the business. I owe a lot of my growth to my engineering days, being able to convey technical concepts is a wonder like no other to me. Even at the factory, it’s a continuous process of learning something new every day. That’s what keeps me motivated. Now, as I explore new ideas, I am focused on expanding my knowledge to help diversify the company. Learning is a never-ending process, and that’s what makes the journey so exciting. #learning #engineeringlessons #challenges

My Journey as a Mechanical Engineering Student: From Freshman Uncertainty to Sophomore Strength When I first walked into the world of mechanical engineering, I was a blank slate—eager but uncertain. But something inside me sparked with every new lesson, every challenge. As a freshman, I struggled, like many do, to balance theory with practice, grappling with complex equations and unfamiliar machines. Slowly, what seemed impossible started to make sense, and I began to understand that growth in engineering—just like in life—is a process of breaking through barriers, one concept at a time. Now, as a sophomore, I stand on firmer ground. The once-daunting world of mechanics, and design now feels like a path I’m not just walking but beginning to own. I’ve realized that engineering isn’t just about solving problems, but about transforming ideas into reality. It's about building resilience, and constantly pushing the limits of what I thought I could achieve. This journey has been nothing short of transformative, and I can’t wait to see how far it will take me. #mechanicalEngineering #StudentLife #Growth
