What Does a Mechanical Engineer Do?
Mechanical engineers are typically involved with the generation,
distribution, and use of energy; the processing of materials; the control
and automation of manufacturing systems; the design and development
of machines; and the solutions to environmental problems.
Research, testing manufacturing, operations, marketing, and
administration are some other key activities associated with practicing
Mechanical Engineers.
Mechanical engineers are characterized by personal creativity,
breadth of knowledge, and versatility. They are also valuable and reliable
multidisciplinary team members.
The technical subject areas that form the main basis for their work
include mechanics, energy transfer and conversion, design and
manufacturing, and the engineering sciences. Through clever use of
analysis, modeling, design, and synthesis, they solve important problems
to improve quality of life.
Mechanical engineers work on teams responsible for developing a
wide range of products and systems including, for example, space shuttle
vehicles, aircraft of all sizes and shapes, automobiles, turbines, pumps,
power plants, and factories.

Virtually any machine or process you can think of has benefited
from the influence of a mechanical engineer.
Everyday conveniences such as refrigeration, microwave cooking,
high-fidelity sound reproduction, transportation, communication, and
copying are affordable largely because mechanical and other engineers
worked together to make it happen.
Mechanical engineers are in demand now, and projections for the
future suggest a long-term need for professionals in this specialty. About
20 % of the nearly 3 million engineers in the United States are
mechanical engineers.
A mechanical engineering degree is an excellent foundation for
success in the engineering profession and also for further training and
subsequent achievement in other disciplines including business, law, and
the sciences.
Professional opportunities for mechanical engineering graduates
are too numerous to list.
Please take a moment to think about to think about what you have
done today. Did you switch on a light, open a door, ride in an elevator,
travel by car, or use a computer? If the answer to this question is yes,
then your activities have been influenced by the practice of mechanical
engineers.
Mechanical engineering is as broad in opportunity as is the
difference between microscopic gears and 12 story high boilers.
Mechanical engineering is concerned with the design, manufacture,
and operation of components, devices, or systems such as:
Heat exchangers, refrigerators, ventilation systems
Manufacturing technologies that include use of lasers, precision
machinery, and nano-technology
Biomedical devices
Automobiles, airplanes, and other vehicles
Robotics, mechatronics, and electronic control of machinery
Predictive maintenance and reliability technologies
Modeling of machinery and systems using virtual reality
