Mechanical Engineering Careers
A major in mechanical engineering, one of the broadest disciplines in the field, can open the door to limitless possibilities. The Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that, by trade, mechanical engineers research, design, develop, manufacture and test tools, engines, machines and other mechanical devices. Some develop tools that other engineers use in their daily work, while others choose to pursue careers in agriculture production, maintenance, technical sales, administration and management.
