Mechanical Engineering graduates from Northwestern University
are well prepared for employment in a wide spectrum of industries,
ranging over transportation, heavy and light machinery, machine
tool, construction equipment, heating and refrigeration, power
and energy, as well as engineering or consulting firms, government
laboratories and agencies also offer many career opportunities.
Typical assignments involve work in product development, design,
production, or sales, all utilizing the scientific and engineering
background obtained on campus. New problem areas relating to energy,
materials, pollution control, electronic packaging, medicine,
and aerospace offer challenges for the future as well.
Many graduates continue their education as graduate students
on a part-time or full-time basis. Medical, dental, law and business
schools readily accept a mechanical engineering degree as a firm
basis for further professional study. In addition, graduate programs
leading to the Master's or Doctoral degree in mechanical engineering
provide opportunities for preparation in research and teaching
in mechanical engineering, in universities and industrial or government
laboratories.
