Mechanical Engineering According to The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS), Mechanical Engineers are knowledgeable in math, physics, technology, and design. In addition to technical skills learned in school, the BLS states that creativity, communication skills, critical thinking and problem solving skill are crucial (“Mechanical”). In addition, Onet Online, a website supported by the United States Department of Labor, describes the skills of Mechanical Engineers as listening skills, math…

“foresee” it. As a mechanical engineer and a founder & head for a sustainable technology based start-up I realized the importance of technology enabled sustainability for a healthier and superior future and hence the need for Masters in Mechanical Engineering was felt. I believe that the acquisition of knowledge can never be a discrete accomplishment. It is the culmination of continued effort and the prelude to further analyze and…

As a Mechanical Engineer, there are a surplus of professional and unprofessional organizations to join in order to improve life as an engineer. These organizations are made specifically to assist all engineers, including minorities in STEM, such as black engineers and women. Examples of these helpful organizations include: National Society of Black Engineers, National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering, Society of Women Engineers, and Phi Sigma Rho National Sorority Inc. The…

Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest, largest, and broadest engineering disciplines. Mechanical engineers use the principles of mechanics, materials, and energy to design and manufacture machines and devices of all types. The key characteristics of the profession are its flexibility, breadth, and individuality-a decided advantage in a changing world. Passion towards mechanics began early in my childhood when I started learning basic science in school. My interest toward machines hiked as…

through the rigorous years of higher level education, an engineering degree will earn them the highest average out of college salary of any degree. That doesn’t mean engineering is easy however, it can take up to 8 years of education to earn a PHD in mechanical engineering, and that doesn’t even grantee you a job. A person cannot earn a degree in engineering itself; the profession is broken up into different majors such as, Electrical, Chemical, materials,…

dreams in my head. Finally, I believe I have found a solution. Mechanical engineering seems to be the best route to make my dreams a reality. It definitely will not be easy though. I have to get the proper education and as well as make sure I can support myself while trying to get hired, and even find out if I could get a job as a mechanical engineer. What is a Mechanical Engineering ?…

Mechanical Engineers: Life Changing Creators From smothering smoke to rattling that shook the entire building, the machine began to crash and shut down completely. A panic fell across the room as the dramatic scene was taking place. Confusion and worry was being expressed through the eyes of every employee in the room. Production was at a halt and the business was in a crisis. Before anyone was able to make a move, a man carrying a tool bag stormed in and immediately was heading towards the…

explore the world of designing, testing, and bringing to life these ideas that started out as scrap metal. Through talking to different engineers at robotics competitions I found that what I really wanted to do with my life was study to become a mechanical engineer. Of the labs that we visited during this class I was most drawn to the machine shop. I am a hands on learner so to see that we have the opportunity to get hands on experience with some of these machines was very exciting. The…

article I am going to analyze today is “Outstanding women in mechanical engineering” written by Hoh, Yin Kiong. This article concerns how many women stray from engineering and science based jobs because of people’s perception of engineers and scientists. It also gives an amazing example of a very successful woman engineer and her accomplishments throughout her career. Hoh, Yin Kiong talks about in the article that the exposure to female mechanical engineers would push more young women towards…

the first class in the Design section of the Mechanical Engineering department. You learned to sketch ideas and build simple models. It looked very interesting. It was a very popular class, though and hard to get in. They gave priority to Mechanical Engineers, so Jeanne and I declared that as our majors and signed up for the class. Once I declared, it seemed like too much work to change, and I really liked that class, so that’s how I became a mechanical engineer. (Jeanne is now making films in…
