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 Earnings and Employment Sources Areas of Mechanical Engineering Areas Cont. Energy Manufacturing -The program focuses on integration of design, materials, and manufacturing with an exposure to business - Mechanical engineering is a field focused on systems in motion. Mechanical engineers are responsible for ensuring that products with moving parts are functional and reliable.

Current research is in materials with microstructure, plasticity, biomechanics,and polymer matrix composites Robotics -As a mechanical engineer working in the field of robotics, you may design and fabricate machines and devices that interact with their surroundings and can be operated remotely. What is a Mechanical Engineer? 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 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. Major Advancements Today, nanotechnology is transforming mechanical engineering. They are able 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 Education North Carolina A&T University Most entry level jobs in mechanical engineering require a: Stanford University Requierments Florida A&M University -Bachelor of Science -Bachelor of Technology -Bachelor of Engineering -or Bachelor of Applied Science College of Engineering Applicants: GPA: 3.2 or higher (weighted) Testing Requirements (OPTIONAL) SAT: 1080 or higher (combined); 520 or higher (math section) ACT: 21 or higher (composite); 21 or higher (math section) Course Completion Completion of Pre-Calculus Willie A.
