Lubrication engineers solve various types of lubricating problems in all types of equipment. Hydraulic and pneumatic engineers work with any equipment that employs air or liquid forms of energy force control and energy conversion. Some mechanical engineers also work in areas not usually considered to require engineering. Biomechanical engineers cooperate with physicians to investigate the working of the body and to design aids and instruments for medicine. It would be hard to find an area or object in every day life that was not in some way affected by a mechanical engineer.
Mechanical engineers work in industry, consulting practices, government and universities.
They may work in classrooms, factories offices, laboratories or testing facilities as teachers, managers, designers or researchers. Some mechanical engin eers work in sales and product quality control or equipment maintenance. Many hold managerial positions in their companies. Whether working on an oil rig or in corporate headquarters, mechanical engineers are solving the technical problems of today and t omorrow. So now you should have a pretty good idea of what a mechanical engineer actually does.
