Mechanical Engineering Presentation
Transcript: Mechanical Engineering Some of the top major businesses for mechanical engineers in colorado include -Mkk Consulting Engineers -Barlow Group Inc -A E Associates inc -Smith Seckman Reid -Calibre Engineering Inc -Modeling and control of dynamic processes in engineering systems like acoustics, computer simulations, and artificial intelligence -The program focuses on integration of design, materials, and manufacturing with an exposure to business Career Paths Most entry level jobs in mechanical engineering require a: -Includes topics in mechanics and materials science. Current research is in materials with microstructure, plasticity, biomechanics,and polymer matrix composites Major Advancements Areas of Mechanical Engineering -Bachelor of Science -Bachelor of Technology -Bachelor of Engineering -or Bachelor of Applied Science Education Proffesional Organizations Earnings and Employment National Average per year of a mechanical engineer is estimated at $80,580 Colorado's national average of a mechanical engineer is estimated at $73,000 The national average salary per household is $46,326 There is 232,660 mechanical engineers employed in the US In this field, only 4% is ages 20-24. 13% are older than 55, and the majority of 84% are between 25-54. The unemployment rate for this area is 3%. The number of job seekers will exceed the number of job openings but not enough to have an impact on the unemployment rate. Mechanical Engineering also holds the second highest number of engineers employed It is predicted that engineering employment will grow through 2018 What is a Mechanical Engineer?

Industry Graduate School Entrepreneur Business Owner Research Labs Military Government Preparation for other Professions Mechanical engineers design and develop everything involved in a machine. They also have an influence on designs of various projects as well in order to increase efficiency Manufacturing/Industrial -Thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics like internal combustion engines, transmissions, and emissions control Design and Dynamic Systems Some mechanical engineers go on past a bachelor to pursue their masters in various fields http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes172141.htm http://aiche.salary.com/salarywizard/ http://www.me.mtu.edu/admin/whatme.html#what http://www.khake.com/page53.html http://www.top-engineering-schools.com/mechanical-engineering.html http://www.thefreelibrary.com/ Today, nanotechnology is transforming mechanical engineering. They are abl to work with the nanoparticles that are predicted to be able to kill cancer cells and better treat Alzheimer's Disease. Also, the growing concern for the quality of the planet and environment has created many more opportunities for mechanical engineers to develop new equipment and processes to clean up the environment On a daily basis, mechanical engineers are generally working with a team that is tasked with completing various projects together. They also use a chunk of the day on design engineering where they create prototypes and test new designs of things.
