Department of Engineering & Computer Science Mechanical Engineering Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest of all engineering disciplines. Although its primary purpose could be summarized as ?creating and improving machines to benefit mankind,? this fundamental task engages the mechanical engineer in a vast array of fascinating specialty areas. As a mechanical engineer your work could range from ?hands on? experimentation to computer modeling to highly theoretical design work. Graduates with mechanical engineering degrees can find high-paying employment in challenging jobs virtually anywhere in the world. Mechanical Engineering also has the most job offers among all engineering majors, with an average entry-level salary of $63,055 (2020 US Bureau of Labor data).
