Mechanical engineers use the fundamentals of engineering mechanics, energy, thermal- uid sciences, and material sciences to design and analyze mechanical systems that perform useful tasks required by society.?

For example, mechanical engineers work with the design and function of machines, devices, and structures in the areas of manufacturing, processing, power generation, and transportation (air, land, sea, and space).?

As a result of rapidly expanding technology in recent years, mechanical engineers have become more versed in computer-aided design; robotics; bioengineering; environmental engineering; solar, wind, and ocean energy sources; and space exploration.?

The breadth of the eld provides the graduate with many possibilities for a satisfying career.?
