Mechanical Engineering average medium pay $80,580 in May 2012. Mechanical engineers generally work in professional office settings. Occasionally visit worksites where a problem or piece of equipment needs their personal attention. They work mostly in engineering services, research and development, manufacturing industries, and public projects. Mechanical engineers need a bachelor’s degree and a graduate degree is typically needed for promotion into managerial positions. To sell services publicly they must be licensed in all states and the District of Columbia. Employment of mechanical engineers is projected to grow 5 percent from 2012 to 2022, slower than the average for all occupations. Job prospects may be best for those who stay abreast of the most recent advances in technology.
