机械工程师将创造力和创造力相结合，以解决社会上一些最棘手的问题，并将创意变为现实。他们设计和制造为机器提供动力的机器和设备，并参与从概念和设计到安装和实施的整个产品开发和制造过程。机械工程领域是多样而令人兴奋的，可提供以下领域的就业机会：航空航天和汽车工业，声学，生物医学研究和工程，能源生产和管理，供暖和空调，液压和制造。机械工程也是非常通用的学位，毕业生在设计，分析，研究与开发，技术销售和工程管理等领域中担任职务。
LTU's mechanical engineering program is built around a core curriculum in manufacturing, mechanical systems, and thermal science. In this program, you will learn how products are designed, manufactured, and tested, as well as the basics of mechanisms and structures, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and energy conversion. You can choose from six concentrations: alternative energy, automotive, manufacturing, nanotechnology, solid mechanics, and thermal fluids, and can further augment your preparation by pursuing minors in aeronautical engineering or energy engineering. Since many consumer products are electromechanical in nature, a mechatronics sequence is also included.
