Determine which area of mechanics you want to go into. If you're thinking about robotic, applied or engineering mechanics, you may want to choose a large university in your area. If you're thinking about auto mechanics, you may want to consider a smaller university or community college offering courses in auto mechanics.
Do a simple search on the Internet for "mechanic schools" followed by the city that you live in. You can also specify in your search which area of mechanics you're looking into. Search engines will display all the mechanics schools within a close radius to your city and may even provide a map to better serve you. Select several schools from that list that interest you most.
Call the Offices of Student Services to the schools you've selected. A guidance counselor will be able to give you information, such as tuition, how long the courses are, how many credits you'll need, if you'll need to declare a minor in a related field, internships, etc. You can also set up a date and time to tour the campus and meet with professors and students within the field.
Talk to professionals in the field. You can call different auto mechanic shops, engineering firms and aircraft companies and ask for advice. People within the human resources department will able to answer many questions you have--for example, they may tell that you that they look for applicants with a major in mechanical engineering, but also with a minor in applied sciences.
