Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineers research, develop, design,
manufacture, and test tools, engines, machines, and other mechanical devices.  They design tools that other engineers need for their work.  The field of Nanotechnology, which involves the creation of high-performance materials and components by integrating atoms and molecules, is introducing entirely new principles to the design process.  Mechanical engineers work in many industries, and their work varies by industry and function.
