What do engineers do?
Mechanical engineers design devices which harness mechanical and thermal energy.
Most mechanical engineers work in an office environment.
Engineers must be able to work in a team because they must cooperate with experts in many fields.
Mechanical engineers use computers heavily.
There are many opportunities for management and education in the field of engineering.

What education is needed?
A Bachelor’s degree in science is a minimum; although many engineers go on to receive a graduate degree.
Students will study math and science as well as engineering courses.
Computer education is becoming increasingly important.
Good engineering schools in Texas include Texas A&M, The University of Texas, Texas Tech, Rice University, and others.

Why be an engineer?
Engineers enjoy a high starting salary with the ability to rise up the ladder. The median salary for engineers in 2012 was $80,580.
Those who enjoy math and science will probably enjoy engineering.
There are many diverse opportunities for mechanical engineers due to the field’s diversity.
