Communication skills
Engineers sometimes have an image of being solitary or introverted, but in
reality they spend much of their time working with clients and colleagues.
Verbal and written communication skills are vital to function effectively in a
team, and to write reports and technical guides explaining their projects.

Up-to-Date knowledge
The engineering field is constantly evolving, and by the time students
complete a doctoral program, they have a deep understanding of classic
mechanical engineering concepts, as well as the latest techniques and tools
that are moving the field forward.

SPECIALIZED AREAS OF INTEREST

Mechanical engineers work across all industries, and on all kinds of projects, from tiny devices to large
structures. Depending on their individual skills and preferences, they can choose from several degree
specialties that allow them to gain focused knowledge in the part of the discipline that interests them most.
Following are some examples of mechanical engineering specialties, as well as the careers where they are
used:
