Introduction to Mechanical Engineering

NESIT member Dave R. will be going over the steps entailed in becoming a Mechanical Engineer.  We’ll be focusing on:

• How does a Wind Turbine Work?
• What college classes does a student typically take to get a degree in Mechanical Engineering?
• “At your first job”… What is an example of a calculation and design task that an entry-level mechanical engineer would be expected to perform?

Of interest to Boy Scouts we will cover the requirements for Engineering Merit Badges 4 and 8 and part of Energy Merit Badge 7’s requirements.
