Whether this has been building innovative animal traps to find food or designing self-driving cars to reduce congestion in modern cities, engineering has provided the stepping stones for mankind to thrive both as a collective and as individuals.

Allowing us to utilise the materials around us, engineering enables humans to go a step beyond our physical environment to solve problems and maximise our potential as we progress and evolve.

Of course, times have changed tremendously since the first feats of engineering were achieved. And thanks to rapid advancements in technology in the 21^st century, the rate of this change has only increased with time. One problem solved equals a new challenge to overcome, a new “first” to achieve, a new record to beat, and so it goes – such is mankind’s insatiable thirst for progress...

Many fields including healthcare, robotics, transport, nanoscience and rocket science rely on mechanical engineers to apply their interdisciplinary knowledge to the industry.

Graduates in mechanical engineering have a unique skillset that are valuable to a range of areas, meaning they are not digging themselves into a niche that could be unlucrative in the future, but instead specialising in a field that is always going to be in demand, both for guiding society forward and progressing individual sectors.

This also broadens the career opportunities for mechanical engineers, not only in what areas they can work in but in which countries their skills will be needed. Every developing or developed country has its own set of unique challenges that rely on mechanical engineering to overcome, meaning there are a plethora of opportunities available to graduates after their studies.

So, as important as mechanical engineering has been to getting to where humanity is now, it will be even more instrumental in solving global challenges, harnessing new technologies and promoting innovation across all industries as we look towards the evolving Industry 4.0.
