Background into Mechanical Engineering
Transcript: (List of Famous Mechanical Engineers, 1) (Mechanical Engineer B.S.E.) Background into Mechanical Engineering How writing ties into engineering Writing doesn't go much farther than communication in the field. Mechanical engineers don't make presentations. There aren't very many presentations in engineering classes. There are also many presentations in higher level courses. (Lombardo, PC) Students need three things to be a good mechanical engineer: - an engineering mind - interest in your work - being good with your hands (Wang, PC) Salary of a Mechanical Engineer Animoto Overall 128 credits n.a. mechanical_engineering.

The best-paid earned about $121,530, while the lowest-paid earned less than $52,030. The average hourly rate is around $39 per hour Why a person should be a mechanical engineer - In mechanical engineering classes there are many lab reports , which can be up to 20 pages. These lab reports are most of the student's grade. - There are also many presentations in higher level courses. - In the field, writing is used when composing letters.Writing is used to contact and communicate with other companies. - In engineering courses,writing is important because most of your grade is based of writing assignments (Mechanical Engineering, 1) This presentation will be informing about mechanical engineering and how writing is incorporated into the field.

We look at the person, whether they can do the job." - A Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer (Zelt, Survey) Mechanical engineers work 45 - 50 hours a week, 9 - 10 hours a day. Wang, Xia.
