Working as a Mechanical
Engineer
Mechanical Engineering is
one of the broadest
engineering disciplines, and
therefore there are a wide
variety of jobs that a degree
in Mechanical Engineering
prepares a student for.
Most mechanical engineers
today work with computer
programs such as CAD when
designing their projects.

Faculty
Ronald Miles
Ron Miles current research interests include the development of
biologically-inspired microacoustic sensors. Miles course
offerings are in the areas of vibrations, dynamics and acoustics.
Frank Cardullo
Frank Cardullo conducts research in the area of man-machine
systems. He is also an active consultant in this area for many
aerospace companies and U.S. government agencies. Prior to
joining the faculty, Cardullo spent 14 years as an engineer in the
simulation industry, most of it with Link.

Conclusion
Mechanical engineering is a broad field that primarily
uses math and physics to analyze and design
machines and mechanical systems.
This appeals to me because I am interested in physics
and enjoy making and building designs.
Binghamton is a great place to study mechanical
engineering. The faculty in the department are well
qualified and are engaged in many interesting
research projects.
