Mechanical Engineering Major
As a mechanical engineer, you might design advanced materials for supersonic and hypersonic space travel, design robots and automatic control systems, or work with medical professionals to investigate the human body and design instruments for medicine.
Mechanical engineering is about the efficient use of energy for the design and function of all types of mechanisms, from the simplest to the most complex. It builds on physics, chemistry, materials, mathematics and biology to achieve this goal.
Mechanical engineers design and develop everything from door locks to space shuttles. In fact, if it moves, you will find mechanical engineering at the heart of its design.
