STEM Career: Mechanical Engineer
Mechanical engineers design equipment, machines, and systems. These may be for energy generation and distribution, materials processing, automated manufacturing systems, or new machines. They may then build prototypes, depending on the size, and test and analyze the results. Once an item is functional, the mechanical engineer oversees manufacture and implementation of the machines, tools, and equipment.
Tools of the Trade
Computers, torque measuring devices, strain gages
Education Required
A bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering
