How do Mechanical Engineers contribute to making the world a better place?

Mechanical Engineers have touched almost everything that we experience in our daily lives — from refrigerators to cars to medicine — they have devised the systems needed in this technologically dependent culture.

Mechanical engineers are problem solvers that take their knowledge of math and science and create solutions to improve our lives and make the world a better place. When you think of a mechanical engineer, usually cars come to mind but they also have a huge part in the medical industry as they make human devices such as prosthetic hands that allow a person to type and write.
