Description
Mechanical engineers are critical for the current generation and industry. Mechanical engineering careers focus on creating technologies to meet the industry and human needs. Practically every product or service in modern life has probably been touched in some way by a mechanical engineer to help humankind. This includes solving today’s problems and creating future solutions in health care, energy, transportation, education, environment and climate change, water management, and many others. Your Mechanical Engineering studies will give you a strong technical knowledge in a variety of areas, which could include mechanical, manufacturing, mechatronics, industrial, electronics, robotic, etc. With about 30% of theoretical learning, there will typically be much more of action, hands-on, practical learning to ensure that you are adequately prepared for engineering work when you graduate.
