"Mechanical engineering is the most traditional and general type of engineering within the broader field of engineering," says Sam Mazany, editor at Nonprofit Colleges Online. "Students pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering learn the main principles of engineering along with physics and material sciences. As the most broad degree, it offers students the greatest deal of flexibility in their career path. Mechanical engineering students can potentially go on to be employed in a wide range of different types of jobs, later entering aerospace engineering, manufacturing engineering, civil engineering, metallurgical engineering, and much more. Prospective students who are interested in engineering but wish to keep all options open will find that a mechanical engineering degree is a great way to gain an understanding of the core principles of engineering without committing to a specialized career path. Due to the flexibility of this degree, students are able to pursue a variety of different jobs and can expect to make an average of over $80,000 a year after earning their degree."
