Hi Xander,
The world of mechanical engineering has many opportunities that do not force you to be tied to a desk all day. This was one of the main reason I decided to purse this degree about 10 years ago. Below are some hands-on industries and roles for mechanical engineers
-Manufacturing: I currently work as a Senior Manufacturing Engineer. A lot of my day is spent optimizing machine production, collaborating with a variety of teams, and making the shop run more efficiently. This role has provided me diverse responsibilities that keep me active all day long.
-Power and Utilities: In college I worked as a Plant Engineering Intern in a power plant. Since the plant is extremely vast and complex, there was always new equipment to optimize. I spent much of my time studying plant performance, observing current operations, and implementing improvements alongside plant supervisors.
-Construction: While Civil Engineers are normally associated with construction, mechanical engineers have their role in this field as well. Mechanical engineers can work on construction sites to ensure efficient and accurate construction of different mechanical systems like HVAC and plumbing.
These are just a few opportunities. Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest engineering fields and are involved in a wide variety of hands on industries.

This led me to a manufacturing engineering role, which I loved because it was hands-on and involved solving machine problems. I enjoyed the daily production and the friendships I made at the plant. Later, I transitioned to a research and business development role at a university, where I discovered a passion for writing through grant proposals and journal papers. While there, I also earned an MBA, which opened new career paths for me. It led to a role in state economic development and eventually brought me back to industry, where I now focus on industry research and writing about new trends.
My journey shows how a mechanical engineering degree can open many doors and prepare you for various careers. Each role I've taken has been more interesting and better aligned with my goals. If you're interested in mechanical engineering, I highly recommend pursuing it. This degree can lead to many exciting opportunities, some of which you might not even imagine right now.
Hope this helps!

Xander,
Sky's the limit (...and beyond)!
EVERYTHING you see in the world today has a mechanical engineer somewhere in the mix. Every car, home, appliance, electrical fixture, bridge or road, stadium, airplane, spacecraft, and cell phone had or has mechanical engineers involved. They calculate the strength of materials, load limits, code compliance, maintenance requirements, and even design the tools used to construct and dismantle structures and vehicles. After the construction is complete, mechanical engineers deal with the operational management of the constructions including inspections, maintenance, repair, modifications, and utility supply. It is safe to say that no part of our lives is not touched by a mechanical engineer right down to the clothing we wear and the medical devices on or in our bodies.
So - YOU have to identify what around you excites your interest and passion. Whether you are creative or deliberative. What inspires you and what intrigues you. Whether you want to work for money to pursue your dreams, or labor to realize your dreams. What specific specialization (tunneling, aerospace, bridges, micro mechanical, etc.) you might be attracted to. Whether you want to be part of a team or an independent agent. Mechanical engineering as a profession only opens doors to self-actualization (hopefully you already know about Mazlow!).
You will need "talents" in the form of math skills beyond calculus, an ability to think and visualize in three dimensions (four if you include time), and a deliberative and methodical approach to problem solving. Ability to work with machine tools and your hands is a great addition during learning. In high school, tinkering with bicycles, lawnmowers, constructing a doghouse, or doing significant home repairs is a good way to understand materials and mechanical design.
However, don't forget your emotional/social side - many's the great engineering practitioner who lost sight of balancing their life and ended up rich, accomplished, and alone.

I understand where you're coming from. Many of my friends also aren't fans of computers or coding. Luckily, if you're into mechanical engineering or similar fields, there are plenty of opportunities in manufacturing and automotive industries. You can work as a manufacturing, production, industrial, mechanical, or quality engineer. While these jobs do involve using computers for tasks like data analysis in Excel or creating presentations and project plans, you don't need to be an expert in CAD or a data scientist or business analyst for all roles.

Hi Xander:
While in high school, one will need to focus on science and math classes to prepare for a career in Mechanical Engineering. Physics and chemistry will be the core science courses. For math, statistics and calculus will be needed. Both concentrations will enable you to focus and refine your analytical skills; complex problem solving; investigative and innovative critical thinking; attention to detail and observation skills; etc.
Other skills that will need to be built upon center around team building, team work and communication. In any work culture, collaboration amongst team members, partner departments and clients occur on a daily basis. A college course in public speaking, communications and English will help with one's communication and writing skills since analysis reports are generated and findings are presented to colleagues and other professionals who deal with Mechanical Engineering. Another recommendation is to seek the advice from your high school guidance counselor and teachers. They can help guide your educational pathway for Mechanical Engineering.
According to U.S. News & World Report, here are the top colleges and universities to consider for Mechanical Engineering:
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology
- Georgia Institute of Technology
- Stanford University
- University of Michigan (Ann Arbor)
- University of California (Berkeley)
- Purdue University (West Lafayette)
- University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign)
- California Institute of Technology
- Carnegie Mellon University

When reviewing colleges and universities, it is best to check the following:
- In-State vs Out of State Tuition
- Internships
- Scholarships
- Career Placement upon graduation
- Course work and offered classes
- Post-Graduate Degrees - Master and Doctoral
There are scholarships based on need, academic performance, school activities, sports involvement and community service. So, it will be to your advantage to seek out these types of scholarships. All of the academic staff at your high school that you interact with can write letters of recommendations for you based on what was just stated above. These recommendations can greatly help when filling out college and scholarship applications.
There will be a application fee to pay for when submitting college applications. The amount of application fee will depend on the college that you are applying to. If there are questions about the college application process, please reach out to the college's Registrar Office.
College and scholarship applications can start to be submitted during your Junior year and will continue throughout your Senior year in high school. It is best to ask your Academic Advisor/School Counselor on the timeline process as well. College and scholarship applications will have specific deadlines and requirements to meet in order to be submitted for review and consideration.
You may want to start to compile your resume/portfolio since a majority of college and scholarship applications will require academic grade point average (GPA), academic accomplishments, school activities (clubs, sports, etc.), community involvement (volunteer, church, etc.), academic and personal recommendations, etc. There may be essay requirements on why you are a qualified candidate to receive the scholarship and acceptance to the applied college of choice, what your future goals are academically and professionally and other questions centering around who you are, your beliefs, etc.
Here are a couple of links for College Scholarships:
https://www.mometrix.com/blog/scholarships-for-college/
https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/articles/websites-to-kick-off-your-scholarship-search
Also, it will be best to check with the colleges and universities that you will be applying to. You can check with the School/Department of your desired major, the Campus Career Center and the Register's Office for additional information for college scholarships and grants and specific requirements for qualifications.
There should be no limit on the amount of scholarships that one can apply to. It will take time to fill out the scholarship applications and provide all of the necessary required information. Also, there should no fee and no cost to fill out and submit scholarship applications. If there is a fee or cost that is associated with a scholarship application, then please do not send this particular scholarship application in. It will be a scam and money will be lost.
