Mechanical EngineeringBy: Devin Rose, Nick Cowen, Sarah Yee

History Mechanical Engineering is as old as man. Making tools and weapons to help them. It has advanced over the years due to advancement in

science and math. It is exponentially growing and will always continue to grow

exponentially. (ASME Organization) Mechanical engineering will only stop when people stop

dreaming and imagining.

Jobs There are many sub disciplines (jobs) that you can get with a

mechanical engineering degree. A few for example are Automotive Robotics Biomechatronics Marine Engineering Nanotechnology Acoustical Engineering

*The Average annual income is $80,580, with the highest 10% earning at least $121,530, and the lowest 10% at $52,030

Automotive A mechanical engineer will do almost everything when it

comes to the automotive side of mechanical engineering. In a car you a mechanical engineer can help design, build,

analyze data, and develop new procedures. The building, designing, etc. can be with any part of the car

for example: Air Bags Doors Engines Brake Etc.

Robotics Robotics is an obvious sub discipline of mechanical

engineering. People make robots that are more advanced than ever that

can do almost anything. Some robots can help build cars and others can help make

your favorite candy bar. Robotics are a huge field to get into, even the military uses

them.

Biomechatronics This deals with a lot of mechanized devices and the human

body. People who get into this will make prosthetic limbs and other

mechanical devices along those lines. One huge part of this is the making of artificial hearts and

ventricular devices.

Marine Engineering Anyone looking to getting into marine engineering will be on

vassals a lot of the time. They are basically advanced mechanics for these huge

boats Or they can help design and build new boats. Marine Engineers can pretty much do it all when it comes to

boats and everything about them.

Nanotechnology Works with extremely small components, atoms, molecules. Can be used across all other science fields. Involves the ability to see and control individual nano-

objects. Usually deals with the use of scanning tunneling

microscopes and the atomic force microscope. Today’s scientists constantly working on making materials at

nano-scale to take advantage of properties. Higher strength, lighter weight, increased control of light spectrum, and greater

chemical reactivity than its counterparts

Acoustical Engineering Deals with transducers and sound measuring instruments of

all kinds. Most universities do not offer a specific degree in acoustical

engineering. Takes part in medical diagnosis, communications, seismic

surveying, and recording and reproducing speech and music. Different branches include:

Architectural, musical, noise control, physical, speech and hearing, underwater, bio and medical, and structural/vibration.

How to Get a JobAccording to the ASME website (www.asme.org) there are 7 steps. (1.) Keep resume up to date (2.) Network with colleagues, family, and friends (3.) Tap into your alumni association (4.) Work part time/volunteer (5.) Identify companies of interest (6.) Expand your opportunities (7.) Don’t get discouraged

Imagination Drives the World Endless possibilities in Mechanical Engineering. Always a high demand for a great mind and imagination. Without the creativeness and drive for advancements in

society, we wouldn’t have the things we have today… Everyone always looking for something new/better. Constant competition and imaginations makes the

Mechanical Engineering world go ‘round.
