As a mechanical engineer you'll provide
efficient solutions to the development of processes and products, ranging from
small component designs to extremely large plants, machinery or vehicles.
You'll work on all stages of a product, from research and development to design
and manufacture, through to installation and final commissioning.
Most industries rely on a form of
mechanical systems, and mechanical engineering is thought to be one of the most
diverse of all engineering disciplines. Due to this, there are employment
opportunities across several sectors.
