Why study Mechanical Engineering? Mechanical Engineering is among one of the country’s highest paid occupations and lowest unemployment rates. The current economy thrives on innovation, and mechanical engineers are at the forefront of it, constantly developing not only new and exciting products, but also technologies that improve society and the world. Be part of the future! Career Opportunities Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest disciplines in engineering. A graduate with a BSME can expect a wide range of options. Mechanical engineers are in high demand in the bio- mechanical field, aeronautics, structural applications, energy transfer, robotics, automation , composite materials, and alternative energy to name only a few. Many of our graduates have started their careers with some of the major companies around the Northwest, such as Boeing and Microsoft. Our graduates currently are employed in a wide range of geographically diverse companies in positions that vary from design engineers to upper management. A degree in Mechanical Engineering will provide innumerable choices of rewarding jobs. EWU’s laboratory-intensive Mechanical Engineering program will prepare you to have a seamless transmission into the workplace, regardless of your career choice.
