Mechanical engineers apply the principles of motion, energy, force, and materials to design products that are safe, efficient, reliable, and cost-effective. Learn to design components, devices, systems, and processes that will help solve tomorrow's biggest challenges in health care, transportation, climate change, and more. Then, go on to work in industries such as aerospace, automotive, biomedical, communications, nanotechnology, and power-generation.
