Do you like to tinker with machines? Do you dream of inventing something that will make life easier or the world a better place to live? If you do, you have the makings of a mechanical engineer. At Oregon Tech, Mechanical Engineering Technology majors learn the theory and application of mechanical design and the process of developing a product that can improve society. Youll spend nearly half of your class time in the lab, applying what you have learned using state-of-art equipment. Mechanical engineers work in many industries, and their work varies by industry and function. Some specialize in energy systems; applied mechanics; automotive design; manufacturing; materials; plant engineering and maintenance; pressure vessels and piping; and heating, refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines, so graduates have a wide range of career options from which to choose. - According to the U.S. Department of Labor, median annual earnings of mechanical engineers were $66,320 in 2004.
- According to a 2003 salary survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, bachelors degree candidates in mechanical engineering received starting offers averaging $48,585.
- The average starting salary for Oregon Tech mechanical engineering technology graduates over the past five years is $49,100.
- Employers who hired Oregon Tech MET graduates in 2003 include Alcatel, The Boeing Co., Electro Scientific Industries, GE Transportation Systems, GE Power Systems, Intel, JELD-WEN, Johnson Controls, The Lancair Co., LSI Logic Corp., McKinstry, Motionmaster, Novellus Systems, Sandia National Labs and Trane Oregon.
