My father is an engineer and he usually leaves for work at 9am and comes home at around 7:30 pm. I'd say on average he works 9-10 hours a day 5 days a week. But that is just from my personal experience. I guess some work more and some work less.

How many hours do you work as a mechanical engineer?

Being a salaried employee a Mechanical Engineer only gets paid for 8 hours of work a day, no matter how many hours he actually works. While in most cases he does only work 8 hours in a day, when schedules are slipping or other problems crop up he will be expected to work as much as necessary to resolve it as soon as possible. I have known a few engineers that worked more than 20 hours a day for a few weeks to resolve a particularly difficult issue.

How many hours does an petroleum engineer work a week?

It all depends on the job you take. Production engineers, like those that work for chevron will work 40 hours a week like most jobs. They will report to the office like in new Orleans or Houston. Now, on a rig it is a totally different story. They will pull atleast 12 hours a day. Most over a hundred a week. Which engineers who work offshore or on a rig get paid by the hour or by the day. So, you are making the most for the time you sink in. I'm a petroleum engineering student at LSU. A few of our professor's have told us they spent 2 days up non stop sometimes. It all depends what is going on.
