The Ohio State University

Some students are very sure of their decision to major in mechanical engineering, and others wonder what mechanical engineering is really all about and if it's right for them.  If you are part of this second group, you're in the right place! 

We have a lot of information prepared for you to help show you what mechnical engineering is all about.  One of the best resources is our Prospective Undergraduate Students page, where you can find information about mechanical engineering, the subjects you will study, and the specializations within the major. 

There are also some very good online resources that provide extensive overviews of engineering and what you can expect life to be like as an engineer.  Check out TryEngineering.org and The Sloan Cornerstone Career Center - these are two excellent resources that give you overviews of the various disciplines, profiles of current engineers, and lots more!
