Look around you at any mechanical machine – from watches and elevators, to cars and trucks and turbines and generators: mechanical engineers have had a hand in designing and creating these machines.
Mechanical engineers are responsible for the conceptualisation and design of machines. It is one of the oldest engineering disciplines, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less relevant today than it ever was. Mechanical engineers have helped to create much of the world around us and will continue to innovate.
