The
career of choice that I have researched is a Mechanical Engineer.
Mechanical engineers in 2010 earned an average of $78,160 annually and the
employment growth of this career is expected to grow by 9% through 2020.
This field of engineering is also the broadest of all the engineering fields
and because of this broadness; mechanical engineers can work alongside many of
the other engineering disciplines. Mechanical engineers have the skills
and knowledge to work in engineering services, research and development,
manufacturing industries, and the federal government. People who are
interested in becoming a mechanical engineer must obtain a Bachelor’s
degree. Mechanical engineers primarily work in an office setting toiling
away on computers designing, problem solving, or redesigning. Some obstacles that a student might face
would be not having strengths in the subject of mathematics and science. Mechanical engineers utilize these two subjects
are frequently in projects. Mechanical
engineers sometimes may work over 60 hours a week toiling away on computer
models so this may be an obstacle to overcome if the dedication to sit and work
on a model is not there. Some places to
look for advice in the field could be the Physical Sciences department on the
KCC campus. The head of the department
is an engineer himself.
