Mechanical Engineers are dreamers and doers. It is through their talented design and development skills that machines, from the most simple concept to extremely complex and integrated operations, come to be. They help us understand how materials make designs stronger and how various stresses, from heat to pressure and beyond, affect the machines that we use. The field of mechatronics, in which computer systems are merged with mechanical systems has recently evolved to meet the changing needs of the workplace.
Opportunities abound for the mechanical engineer. The demand for mechanical engineers is higher than ever before. Our students are finding jobs in such fields as Computational Fluid Dynamics, Manufacturing Design and Development, Biomedical Materials Development, Military Equipment, and Structural Metals Manufacturing.
