Mechanical engineering. It's a technical degree obtained on the college level. It's a 3 years program. We learn Design with solidworks, programation via MasterCAM, Machining (milling and lathe) both conventional and CNC. We learn also integral and derivatives calculus, material resistance, heat threatments, health and safety etc. I'm more confident than a proper engineer on the technical level, but less confident on calculus level.
