|
|
| Mechanical engineers study the behavior of solids, liquids and gases when forces are applied to them and when they are heated and cooled. They learn how to convert energy efficiently from one form to another. Using these knowledge bases, mechanical engineers play key roles in the design of transportation systems, including automobiles and space vehicles; environmental control systems, including air conditioners and furnaces; manufacturing machinery and processes, including robots; energy conversion technology, including engines and power plants; biomedical devices; and the list goes on. This tremendous breadth in the scope of the mechanical engineering profession gives the mechanical engineer access to employment in every major industry imaginable. Mechanical engineering faculty are highly acclaimed and research areas as diverse as combustion mechanics, the movement of aerosols, rotocrafts, biomedical and aerospace engineering. |
