A career in mechanical engineering / by Leanne Currie-McGhee.
Have you ever ridden a bike? Do you lock your door? When it is hot out, do you enjoy the cool inside due to air conditioning? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have used a product or system designed and developed by a mechanical engineer. Everywhere around you, you encounter the work of mechanical engineers-- any product or system you use that contains moving parts, is likely to have begun with a mechanical engineer, or a team of engineers including a mechanical engineer, as they designed the product and developed the process for producing it.With constant advancement of new products and machinery used to create such products, mechanical engineers are at the forefront of technological changes. They design, analyze and manufacture systems and products, and develop processes used to make products that are a part of people's lives. Innovation and technology create exciting possibilities for the mechanical engineering field and those who work in the field-- Provided by publisher.
