Career and Transfer Outlook

Continue your education at local institutions such as:

 

  • Northeastern University
  • University of Massachusetts-Lowell  
  • University of Massachusetts-Amherst
  • Wentworth Institute of Technology
  • WPI
With a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, you can pursue diverse and exciting roles: 

 

  • Mechanical engineers develop a wide range of products and systems, including space shuttles, aircraft, automobiles, turbines, pumps, power plants, and factories. Nearly every machine or process benefits from their expertise.

  • Industrial engineers aim to eliminate waste in production processes. They design and implement efficient, cost-effective, and safer processes. As industries become more automated, there's increasing overlap between Industrial Engineering and Mechatronics/Robotics Engineering.
