Day in the Life There is no typical day for most mechanical engineers. Engineering projects are multi-disciplinary organizational efforts often involving scores of people inside and outside the company. Project life cycles call for different skills and people at different times. The issues and challenges start-off numerous and evolve throughout the project. It is difficult to characterize a typical day under these circumstances. Laced within and among other activities is a great deal of communication - on the phone, via e-mail, in meetings, teleconferences, memos, and reports. No engineer works alone. Engineering is a team sport. Some projects will turn over in a week, some in three months or a year, and projects may run concurrently. Workload can change as a project advances or encounters obstacles. Diversity and challenge are among the things that mechanical engineers like about their work. |
