Nanotechnology, which involves manipulating matter at the tiniest levels, may affect the

employment of mechanical engineers because they will be needed to design production projects
on the basis of that technology. Nanotechnology will be useful in areas such as healthcare and
designing more powerful computer chips.

ical engineer in an industry is to solve problems from design to manufacturing to

the marketplace for any object.

The breadth of the mechanical engineering Mechanical engineers play major roles in a
wide range of industries including automotive, aerospace, biotechnology, computer and
electronics, automation, and manufacturing industries. discipline allows students a
variety of career options beyond the industries listed above

These tools and others have further broadened the horizons of mechanical

engineering.

Mechanical engineers typically do the following:

Employment of mechanical, about as fast as the average for all occupations.

While core mechanical engineering principles, such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and
machine design are still valid, expertise in composites, mechatronics, and nanotechnology are in
increasingly high demand. These new subject areas, which are the result of modern
advancements, are prerequisites for several emerging and promising fields, including artificial
intelligence, biomechatronics, and nanotechnology. Some of the areas where mechanical
engineers are expected to be in high demand include: Electric Vehicles, Nanoengineerings,
Biomechatronics, Manufacturing.

Analysis, design, and synthesis are the key functions of mechanical engineers. The question is
often how devices and processes actually work. The first step is to visualize what is happening
and clearly state the problem. A mechanical engineer will then use computer-based modeling,
simulation, and visualization techniques to test different solutions.

Mechanical engineers are capable of working in a wide variety of industry sectors, and new
technologies will create industries that don't exist today. Your opportunities are determined by
education, your interests and attitudes, and the contacts that you make. According to an ASME
Career Path Survey, about half of mechanical engineers were employed in the original equipment
industries. The next largest industry sector was non-manufacturing employers, followed by
process industries

Employment of mechanical engineers is projected to grow 5 percent from 2014 to 2024, about as
fast as the average for all occupations. Mechanical engineers can work in many industries and on
many types of projects. As a result, their growth rate will differ by the industries that employ
them. Job prospects may be best for those who stay informed regarding the most recent advances
in technology.

Mechanical engineers often work on the newest industrial pursuits. The fields of alternative
energies, remanufacturing, and nanotechnology may offer new opportunities for occupational
growth. Remanufacturing—rebuilding goods for a new use after they have worn out or become
nonfunctional—holds promise because it reduces the cost of waste disposal.

We first address the nature of design in general, and then mechanical engineeringdesign in
particular. Design is an iterative process with many interactive phases. Manyresources exist to
support the designer, including many sources of information and anabundance of computational
design tools.
