... aerospace, energy, robotics, and transportation. Also I learned that recent studies indicated that 40% of all engineering openings were for graduates of mechanical engineering, which means I'd probably have a job once I graduate! Job Description Mechanical engineers take science and math and apply them to real world situations. Mechanical engineers design and construct machines used to make anything mechanical. For example, they make machines that are used in making jet airplanes, chocolate bars, or clothing. Mechanical engineers also design robots, ships, bridges, buildings, aircraft and automobiles. Mechanical engineers need to understand the key concepts of kinematics, mechanics, energy, and thermodynamics. To design and create anything of mechanical nature, mechanical engineers spend a great deal of their time on computers, using computer-aided design (CAD) software. Furthermore, some engineers spend a lot of their time in meetings with managers and other engineers, discussing the expectations of the new machine. Engineers are ...
