(I.e. A SUMMARY of research articles, NOT verbatim. Provide a minimum of 6 sentences
so to meet the minimum time requirement.)

History of the Profession

 Mechanical engineering was found in 1847 in Birmingham. In the article History of the
institution it states that the purpose was to give an impulse to invention likely to be useful to
the world’’ it was not so different from the present mission statement to ‘’improving the world
through engineering’’. They moved to their current home in London in 1899, at 1 birdcage walk.
The architect Basil Slade was responsible for both the interior and exterior decoration of the
main building (except for a wing added in 1911).

Daily Professional Tasks

…

In the article Mechanical engineering the following tasks mechanical engineers do

are.
 Analyze problems to see how mechanical and thermal devices might help solve the problem.

 Design or redesign mechanical and thermal devices using analysis and computer-aided design.

 Develop and test prototypes of devices they design.

 Analyze the test results and change the design as needed.

 Oversee the manufacturing process for the device.

Careers
There are many types of great careers in Mechanical
Engineering that require hard work such as.
 Architectural and Engineering Managers
 Drafters
 Materials Engineers
 Mathematicians and Statisticians
 Mechanical Engineering Technicians
 Natural Sciences Managers
 Nuclear Engineers
 Petroleum Engineers

Education Requirements
The education that is needed for a mechanical engineering.

 It requires at least a bachelor’s degree

 This degree must cover over how to program a system from a computer, cover over technical
subjects such a fluid mechanics, and hydraulics
 Students are also expected to learn the basics of understanding of civil engineering, electrical
engineering, and chemical engineering.
 The important qualities they need to have are creativity to think of complex pieces, math skills
to calculate and troubleshooting their work, mechanical skills to allow apply basic engineering
concepts and mechanical process.

Professional Requirements (licensures, etc.)

In this career for mechanical engineering, the licensures also require a bachelor’s degree from a four –
year institution accredited by ABET and the work experience under the supervision of a licensed
engineer. Candidates must also pass the fundamentals of engineering and principles and practice of
engineering tests, administered by the National council of examiners for Engineering and surveying.

Earnings (match to different ‘Careers’ above)

 The average salary of a mechanical engineer is 87,370 per year and 42.00 per hour
 The average salary of a drafters is 55,550 per year and 26.71 per hour
 The average salary of a materials engineer is 92,390 per year and 44.42 per hour
 The average salary of a nuclear engineer is 107,600 per year and 51.73 per hour
 The average salary of a petroleum engineer is 137,170 per year and 65.95 per hour
Well Known Companies
Mechanical engineering is such a well-designed career there are huge engineering companies such as.

 Apple
 Aviadvigatel
 Bystronic
 Chemtech
 Google
 Microsoft and many more

Professional Organizations
These are some of many organizations to mechanical engineering

 American society of mechanical engineering (ASME)

 Pi tau sigma
 student clubs and organizations (ECS)
 society for experimental mechanics (SEM)
 acoustical society of America (ASA)

Well Know Projects

Some well-known mechanical projects that they create are…

 Robotics
 Automobiles

 Energy generation through non-conventional source of energy

 Machine designs
 And fabrication od turbo super charger for two-wheeler.

Current Job Openings

There are many current jobs near Woodstock Georgia there are currently 100+ jobs if you just type job
opening for mechanical engineer and those current job openings are.

 Mechanical Engineering/ Kennesaw, GA

 Structural mechanical Engineering/ Kennesaw, GA

There are also other applications for other Engineers like…

 Electrical Engenderer/ Wood-stock, GA

 Senior design Engineer/ Kennesaw, GA
  Robotics Engineer/ Kennesaw, GA
 And Director of mechanical Engineering/ Atlanta, GA

Additional Information Slide #1

Some additional information I found about mechanical engineering is that the American society of
Mechanical engineers (ASME) currently lists 36 technical divisions, from advanced energy systems and
aerospace engineering and textile engineering. Also, a mechanical engineering education empowers
students with creative thinking skills to design an exciting product or system; analytical tools to achieve
their design goals; these abilities to overcome all constraints; and the teamwork needed to design,
market, and produce a system. These valuable skills can be applied to launch careers in many other
fields, such as the medicine, law, consulting, management, banking, and finance.

Additional Information Slide #2

More addition information about mechanical engineering. The job employment for mechanical
engineers is projected to grow 9% from 2016 to 2026. A mechanical engineer generically works at an
office they mostly research and develop and manufacture new projects, they mostly work full time and
some work more than 40 hours a week. There are about 288,800 out there for a mechanical
engineering. During their high school students can attend engineering summer camps to see what these
and other engineers do.
