Career prospectsSchool of Engineeringmaster.epfl.ch/mechanicalengineering contact: sgm@epfl.chDue to the omnipresence of mechanical components inthe objects that we use in our day-to-day lives, mechanical engineering training offers a great variety of future prospects. At the top of the list, we find the construction domain (including the car industry, shipbuilding, aeronautics or aerospace), but also the machine industry and energy conversion and management.A large number of students decide to join large corporations and have the opportunity to specialize in the design of new products, at a production or even at a marketing level.In that case, their role will consist in targeting new markets and advising customers. Other students will have the chance to combine all these tasks if they decide to join smaller entities, or if they choose to create their own structure, since the innovation spectrum in mechanical engineering is quite extended. Another important factor to underline is that the mechanical engineering training is world-recognized and allows students to plan a career abroad.
