Mechanical Engineering

If it moves, a mechanical engineer designed it! Mechanical engineers are responsible for a wide range of mechanical, thermal, and biomedical systems and devices, from computer parts to power plants and from manufacturing systems to spacecraft. This is a broadly-based area of engineering, and graduates find work in almost every sector of industry, including high-tech, aerospace, manufacturing, automotive, energy, biomedical or consulting engineering.
