Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines. Mechanical engineers research, design, develops, build, and test mechanical and thermal sensors and devices, including tools, engines, and machines.

Mechanical Engineering degree can be applied in all other fields of engineering and so demand for a Mechanical Engineer is high compared to other engineers of different fields, so it serves as an all-purpose engineering degree.

The degree holders can always look for a career in related occupations such as aerospace engineer, aeronautical engineer, automotive engineer, architect, nuclear engineer, tool designer, and many other occupations.

The new developing fields of biotechnology, materials science and nanotechnology open up various new job areas for Mechanical Engineers.

Mechanical engineers design and oversee the manufacture of many products ranging from medical devices to new batteries.

Mechanical engineers design power-producing machines, such as electric generators, internal combustion engines, and steam and gas turbines, as well as power-using machines, such as refrigeration and air-conditioning systems.

Mechanical engineers design other machines inside buildings, such as elevators and escalators. They also design material-handling systems, such as conveyor systems and automated transfer stations.
