Job Description:
Harlow Keith (2015) explains it best when he states Mechanical engineers apply
their knowledge of physics to design, construct and monitor mechanical systems. The
field of engineering is expansive, covering a variety of sub-disciplines and commanding
the direction of many innovative and exciting technologiesDay to day duties vary.
Mechanical engineers have the most diverse skillset of all engineering fields. Most of the
mechanical engineers jobs are focused around manufacturing industries, research and
development of products, and general engineering services. Mechanical engineers must
have an extensive skillset and knowledge of computers and multiple programs for
product designing. These programs are very powerful and can create simulations to
demonstrate project applications. In every industry there is an application for mechanical
engineers. These fundamentals are just the beginning, from design to production
engineers are involved in planning products, designing the blue prints, production,
troubleshooting, and research and design to investigate failures and create solutions to
bring a product to the market.
General Career Path:
Becoming an engineer from an entry level position requires tenure. Teamwork is
an essential part of an effective group of engineers. From day one, if you want to become
the lead engineer you must demonstrate a high level of knowledge, demonstrate accurate
calculations, and proficiency across multiple disciplines. There arent many roles
between entry-level engineering and lead engineering. Your relative experience is the
most scrutinized when applying for promotions.
Pro: High-level Salary and other Benefits. Undoubtedly, Mechanical engineers are
paid a lot with an average annual income along with many benefits that include health,
holidays and retirement plans.
Your fit within this career
Bryan Maalouf et al. I align well with the nature of the job requirements. I am a very
detail oriented person and like to know how things work. When things break, I like to
diagnose the failure and see what could be improvised to make it better. Currently my
interest is in performance vehicle part manufacturing. My ideal position is within
research and design of a respected leader in the power sport racing industry. I recognize
that there is a lot to consider when designing and manufacturing components that will
endure high stress environments. I enjoy a challenge and take pride in accomplishing
goals that I apply myself to. I am physically able, and mentally capable of completing all
tasks associated with the profession. My mindset is inline with my future and my
academics will demonstrate proficiency throughout my college career.
