#047 – Today, on this midweek episode, we present very interesting information about one of the most fascinating careers today, mechanical engineering. Although we start by going over some quick facts about this field of engineering, we quickly dive into some of the most interesting mechanical engineering projects going on today, including, the construction of a mechanical arm to operate on the moon, where temperatures easily drops to 292º Fahrenheit, the work that Purdue University is conducting in its Resilient Extra Terrestrial Habitats Institute, the introduction of advanced augmented reality into the cockpits of military aircrafts so pilots can practice managing different scenarios, and work conducted at MIT that led to the discovery of what makes coronaviruses so infectious and deadly, and the ability to weaken the infectiousness of the virus greatly. We also covered other valuable areas to students interested in finding out more about mechanical engineering, such as the essential qualities necessary for anyone considering becoming a mechanical engineer, specific about what they do on a daily basis, the courses to take in a bachelor degree program in mechanical engineering, pay, and employment prospects to the year 2029. There is so much we talked about that we are sure you will find very interesting, even if a career in mechanical engineering is not one for you.
