Mechanical engineers are innovative problem solvers with strong reasoning skills. Mechanical engineers have invaluable mechanical knowledge and experience that make their profession critical to ensuring mechanical systems and devices, such as engines, machines, robots, and other mechanical tools, always remain operational.
In this career, mechanical engineers apply their creativity and technical skills in mechanics to troubleshoot a range of mechanical problems. They also help keep machines and systems running, run tests, evaluate their results and, design and develop new mechanical products. Mechanical engineers often work in the office, but sometimes must visit the sites where machines, systems or devices are operating to assess or fix them. It is also common for mechanical engineering technicians to help mechanical engineers to design, create, evaluate, and produce machines and mechanical devices.
Given the importance of having smooth-running mechanics in many industries, mechanical engineers can find jobs in a wide range of industries. Sectors include manufacturing, architectural engineering, and infrastructure design, automotive, transportation, aerospace, energy, computer, and electronic manufacturing including robotics, and more.
In the architectural engineering sector, mechanical engineers may be responsible for designing and building bridges. While in the aerospace industry, mechanical engineers may be involved in designing and building airplanes, helicopters, satellites, and other incredible machinery. There is no shortage of exciting possibilities for a skilled and self-motivated mechanical engineer!
If a mechanical engineer also possesses electrical engineering knowledge and experience, this role is often referred to as an electromechanical engineer. In this role, engineers apply their blended mechanical and electrical expertise to assess, resolve and prevent issues in electromechanical machine systems and components, or to design and build such machines and devices. The sectors in which electromechanical engineers can work are very similar to those of the mechanical engineer.
