Mechanical Engineers
Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest engineering fields. Mechanical engineers design and oversee the manufacture of many products ranging from medical devices to new batteries.
Mechanical engineers design power-producing machines, such as electric generators, internal combustion engines, and steam and gas turbines, as well as power-using machines, such as refrigeration and air-conditioning systems.
Mechanical engineers design other machines inside buildings, such as elevators and escalators. They also design material-handling systems, such as conveyor systems and automated transfer stations.
Like other engineers, mechanical engineers use computers extensively. Mechanical engineers are routinely responsible for the integration of sensors, controllers, and machinery. Computer technology helps mechanical engineers create and analyze
designs, run simulations and test how a machine is likely to work, interact with connected systems, and generate specifications for parts.
The following are examples of types of mechanical engineers:
- Auto research engineers seek to improve the performance of cars. These engineers work to improve traditional features of cars such as suspension, and they also work on aerodynamics and new possible fuels.
- Heating and cooling systems engineers work to create and maintain environmental systems wherever temperatures and humidity must be kept within certain limits. They develop such systems for airplanes, trains, cars, schools, and even computer rooms.
- Robotic engineers plan, build, and maintain robots. These engineers plan how robots will use sensors for detecting things based on light or smell, and they design how these sensors will fit into the designs of the robots.

Education Needed Mechanical engineers typically need a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or mechanical engineering technologies. Mechanical engineering programs usually include courses in mathematics and life and physical sciences, as well as engineering and design. Mechanical engineering technology programs focus less on theory and more on the practical application of engineering principles. They may emphasize internships and co-ops to prepare students for work in the industry.
Licensure is not required for entry-level positions as a mechanical engineer. A Professional Engineering (PE) license, which allows for higher levels of leadership and independence, can be acquired later in one‘s career. Licensed engineers are called
professional engineers (PEs). A PE can oversee the work of other engineers, sign off on projects, and provide services directly to the public | Duties - Analyze problems to see how mechanical and thermal devices might help solve a particular problem
- Design or redesign mechanical and thermal devices or subsystems, using analysis and computer-aided design
- Investigate equipment failures or difficulties to diagnose faulty operation and to recommend remedies
- Develop and test prototypes of devices they design
- Analyze the test results and change the design or system as needed
- Oversee the manufacturing process for the device

Wages
The median annual wage for mechanical engineers was $90,160 in May 2020. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $58,410, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $141,060.
In May 2020, the median annual wages for mechanical engineers in the top industries in which they worked were as follows:
- Scientific research and development services - $104,260
- Computer and electronic product manufacturing - $97,180
- Transportation equipment manufacturing - $92,650
- Architectural, engineering, and related services - $91,590
- Machinery manufacturing - $82,19

 | Berkeley Must Cap Enrollment, California Supreme Court Says
The California Supreme Court announced Wednesday that it will not review the case, denying the University of California‘s appeal to overturn a lower court ruling that forced an enrollment cap.
At the heart of the matter is a legal battle between UC Berkeley and Save Berkeley‘s Neighborhoods, a community group that successfully sued the university over its expansion plans, invoking the California Environmental Quality Act. In that case, an Alameda County Superior Court judge ordered Berkeley to reduce its head count by 3,050 students.

University of Kansas Looks to Cut 42 Academic Programs
The KU University Senate agrees with 28 of the 42 proposed cuts, mainly programs that are largely inactive and will not affect students and faculty if eliminated. But faculty members have deemed 14 others too important to cut, leading to a standoff with the administration.
...
The 14 programs that faculty members want to save include bachelor‘s degrees in humanities, Latin American and Caribbean studies, visual art education, and a variety of minors, master‘s and Ph.D. programs spanning a broad range of
disciplines.
