What would our world today look like without mechanical systems? No cars. No air conditioning. You wouldn’t be reading this on a screen. Mechanical engineering is embedded in the systems that make our lives work, as well as in the systems that make the objects that make our lives work. If you find yourself drawn to schematics, and wondering how objects are put together, mechanical engineering could be a great degree to pursue. Here at DegreeQuery, we pride ourselves on being able to provide resources for students of all types. And mechanical engineering is no different. Check out our 50 featured scholarships in mechanical engineering below!
