Learn how to design, develop and maintain systems with moving parts
Mechanical engineers design cars and aircraft, build robots used in manufacturing, research new ways of producing energy, design biologically inspired engineering systems and manipulate nanomaterials to make structures stronger.
With a mechanical engineering degree, you can work in almost any industry. That could be automotive, aerospace, construction, manufacturing, energy production and conservation, environmental and other fields. Or you could pursue a career in law, medicine and finance.
