A mechanical engineer’s expertise will always be required in any project related to any field of engineering. They are involved in the design, analysis, testing, manufacturing, control, operation, and maintenance of mechanical components in any system that has a moving part.

Graduates of mechanical engineering will have a wide array of career paths to choose from due to the extensive nature of the field.

Mechanical engineers are in high demand in numerous industries. Many mechanical engineers opt for industries such as automotive, energy, robotics, biomedical, product designing, manufacturing, CAD/CAM, operation and quality control, reverse engineering, mechanical design, and aerospace.
