Why Mechanical Engineering?

Mechanical engineers work with nearly everything that moves. Ranging from life-saving medical devices implanted into the body to rockets for space exploration, these engineers improve efficiency across a wide range of industries.

What Is a Mechanical Engineer?

Mechanical engineers use critical thinking skills to create new devices and processes. As such, mechanical engineers serve as progress personified.

As professional problem solvers, mechanical engineers aim to anticipate the problems of tomorrow today — and then dedicate themselves to designing and developing mechanical solutions to meet those future challenges. They are well-positioned for leadership and management careers.

This might mean designing medical robots. Or inventing new green energy sources. Or developing the latest sports equipment technology. Or testing rockets.

The sky’s the limit.
