Abstract
Topic Proposal:
Mechanical Engineering
mechanical systems. According to Michigan Tech (2019), this type of engineering involves many
science topics, such as fluid mechanics, materials’ properties, and kinematics (p. 1). Also,
Columbia University in the city of New York (2019) claimed that this field opens job opportunities
in other careers, like electronics, robotics, and aerospace careers (p. 1). This shows that mechanical
Mechanical engineering has had a positive outcome in UTEP student, graduates, and the
community of El Paso. To support this statement, a couple of questions will be created in order to
guide the research, and lead to a definite conclusion. Questions such as:

aerospace and defense systems (p. 1). Also, Wicker (2000) explains that UTEP has been investing
money in its laboratories focused on certain areas, such as 3D design (p. 1). This evidence proves
that UTEP has resources to aid the accomplishment of a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
