Mechanical engineering?
Answer:
A mechanical engineer works on a project that involves machinery, tools, and mechanical processes. A mechanical engineer is involved in specific projects from the initial creative concept to the final product, overseeing and managing all the activity in between. They are responsible for new product designs, communicating those ideas to marketing, prototyping ideas, integrating new technologies into products, designing, detailing, developing documentation, and fulfilling test requirements. A mechanical engineer must have the ability to plan, organize, and complete projects in a timely manner while working in high task, multiple priority project oriented environments
these following types of jobs they have for jobs in future:
Automotive design and manufacturing
Materials
Plant engineering and maintenance
Refrigeration
Industrial equipment
Heating
Agriculture
Sales
Management
Education
Nanotechnology
Aerospace
Medical equipment
Designs, develops, and tests all aspects of mechanical components, equipment, and machinery. Applies knowledge of engineering principles to design products such as engines, instruments, controls, robots, machines, etc...I myself am in the HVAC field, designing, overseeing construction and fabrication of and for Air Conditioning systems in high rise construction
All engineering sounds glamorous until you take the hard classes and your time is consumed by your studies and you realize that the devil lives in your university.
You are right, it is a very broad field with many applications.
Many of the other answers to this question are very accurate, but I wanted to add some extra information. With technology moving so fast in a global economic environment, engineers have to be more familar with their counterparts in other engineering disciplines. Even though I am a Mechanical Engineer, I passed both the Mechanical and the Electrical Engineering Professional Engineering exam because so many complex systems require understanding a good bit of both of these disciplines.
I also want to highlight how Engineering is a good "pre-anything" to study at the undergraduate level. If you want to become a doctor, lawyer, manager, researcher, or educator, getting an undergraduate degree in engineering shows you are the best of the best and capable to study at the graduate level in any other field. I earned an MBA myself and found the material challenging at the graduate level but not nearly as difficult as my engineering undergraduate degree.
