  1. Mechanical Engineering By: Brendan Wambaugh

  2. Overview • Mechanical engineering uses many different scientific principles for analysis, design, maintenance, and manufacturing of mechanical systems. • Mechanical Engineering has the second highest number of engineering jobs with about 227,000 employees, so they should have plenty of jobs for a future outlook. • The average mechanical engineer make about 65,000-70,000 a year

  3. Training • The first level of education needed to be a mechanical engineer is to obtain a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree. • These programs are offered at most universities and typically takes four or more years to get a BS • All mechanical programs are credited through the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. ABET standardizes the course requirements between universities.

  4. Training (cont.) • After they get their Bachelor’s many engineers pursue a secondary degree but other join the workforce with a full-time job. Another option is to pursue your Master’s or Ph.D., which gives you a higher starting salary. • All mechanical engineers are also required to be hands on using tools such as Computer Aided Design(CAD), Computer Aided Manufacturing(CAM), or Failure Models and Effect Analysis (FMEF).

  5. Nature of Work/Job Responsibilities • When starting a job as a ME, most spend time learning about basic dimensioning and tolerancing. After that, they start with a solid model in CAD software design something or make a drawing and dimension it. Then, your manager will look over your design and correct it and, once you get the hang of it, other new guys do your drawings for you.

  6. Nature of Work/Job Responsibilities • Most engineers at this point are fed parts to design and crunch the numbers using calculus to make the design work. • You will then take on bigger projects, help teach the new guys, and branch out even more. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNWeiKax0yA –Video • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zB6E2Fm7zg-Video

  7. Company and Products • I choose the company Bystronic because they were the top International ME company listed on ranker.com • Bystronic is an active Swiss manufacturer of machine tools for the processing of sheet metal other materials. The company has manufacturing plants is Switzerland, Deutschland, and China. • http://www.ranker.com/review/bystronic/651338

  8. Engineer Profile • Nathaniel Wyeth (1911-1990) is famous for developing the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) beverage container. • Wyeth was named to the Polymer Processing Hall of Fame in 1987 • His job was stretch blow molding and making PET bottles.
