Mechanical
Mechanical engineers need to understand how things work in the construction, automation, robotics, mining, transportation and many more industries.
Mechanical engineers need to understand mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science and structural analysis. Students study mechanical topics such as belt drives, conveyor belts, angular motion, strength of materials and precision measuring.
