Mechanical engineers work on the analysis and design of components and systems in a variety of specialized areas:

• Mechanics (e.g., structures, machinery, automotive components, manufacturing, bioengineering)
• Heat, fluid flow and thermodynamics (e.g., propulsion, power, climate control)
• Dynamics, controls and automation (e.g. autonomous vehicles and manufacturing, robotics and mechatronics)
• Materials science (e.g., deformation and stress analysis)
