Engineers are essentially inventors. By dreaming up ideas and turning them into a reality they push technology to its limits. Therefore, there is a great deal of prestige to be gained by becoming an engineer.

Mechanical engineers are specialized engineers who work with mechanical devices. These may include elevators, refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment, robots, electric generators. Mechanical engineers design tools used in other engineering disciplines.

As you can imagine, mechanical engineering is one of the broadest engineering specialities.
