The technologically oriented world of today offers opportunities in communication, travel, occupations and recreation undreamed of by our forefathers. Today's world is a world of engineered wonders, and those with the foresight, ambition and interest to enter the engineering profession will enjoy the status and rewards befitting the creators of these new technological advances.
Engineering is the only major profession that one can enter with a four-year university education.
The demand for engineers in today's increasingly complex society is growing rapidly, and projections indicate it will stay that way far into the future. Mechanical engineers invent solutions to material problems, questioning how machines work, making machines work better, and creating ideas for solving problems in new and more efficient ways. Jobs in mechanical engineering include developing products to improve air and water quality, inventing more efficient energy sources, designing farm equipment to improve crop yield throughout the world, and developing systems for biological research as well as lifesaving medical equipment. A mechanical engineer, now more than ever, is someone who can translate scientific theories into the real products to improve the quality of life. The Program Graduates of this program are able to assume personal responsibility for the development and application of engineering knowledge for the benefit of mankind.
