Mechanical engineers plan and design tools, engines, machines, and other mechanical equipment. They design and develop power-producing machines such as internal combustion engines, steam and gas turbines, and jet and rocket engines. They also design and develop power-using machines such as refrigeration and air conditioning equipment, robots, machine tools, materials handling systems and industrial production equipment.
There are many opportunities to become a manager.
Most engineers work in office buildings, laboratories, or industrial plants. Others spend a considerable amount of time outdoors at construction sites, mines, and oil and gas exploration sites, where they monitor or direct operations or solve onsite problems.
"The MET student, upon successful completion of all the course requirements, will be qualified to seek employment in the design area as well as the manufacturing or industrial engineering department."
~Philip Miller--Instructor
Professor of Engineering and Technology
