Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering ranges from basic research and product development to marketing launches of products that make life better every day. Transportation (trains, planes, automobiles), entertainment devices (TVs, earbuds, gameplayers), computers and various other routine daily products are things that were made possible by mechanical engineers. Are you curious about how to build safer and more efficient cars? Or how to make smaller machines than we have ever built before? Or how to replace old, polluting, expensive energy systems with clean, reliable, sustainable ones? Then mechanical engineering is for you. Mechanical engineering deals with the development of machinery and tools and provides graduates with one of the broadest skill sets in engineering.
