About Mechanical Engineering in New Jersey Institute of Technology

Mechanical Engineering applies the principles and problem-solving techniques of engineering from design to development to manufacturing to the marketplace for a wide variety of products and systems. Mechanical Engineers analyze their work using the principles of motion, energy and force — ensuring that designs function safely, efficiently and reliably, all at a competitive cost. Mechanical Engineering combines creativity, knowledge and analytical tools to complete the difficult task of shaping an idea into reality.

Mechanical Engineers need to be creative, analytical and effective at solving problems. And because they often work with professionals from other disciplines, they must be able to work in a team-driven environment, effectively listen to others and accurately communicate their ideas. To be a successful Mechanical Engineer, you also should possess computer savvy, mechanical and time-management skills, and a sharp ability in mathematics, particularly in calculus and statistics.
