What do mechanical engineers do?
Mechanical engineers design power-producing machines, such as electric generators, internal combustion engines, and steam and gas turbines, as well as power-using machines, such as refrigeration and air-conditioning systems.
Mechanical engineers design other machines inside buildings, such as elevators and escalators.
Is a mechanical engineering degree worth it?
As a stand alone, yes a mechanical engineering degree is a very desirable degree.
It’s extremely versatile and, similar to most engineering degrees, is respected enough to get you into many careers unrelated to mechanical engineering.
