“Engineers like to solve problems. If there are no problems handily available,
they will create their own problems.”
In designing geothermal power plants a lot of math is used to determine piping, vessel, and equipment sizes.
How Math is Used
in Mechanical Engineering
Engineering is the use of math and
science to build things. Things can be built
without the use of engineering but they may
fail because it was built without knowing beforehand if it was strong enough to hold up.

Computer-aided design and drafting programs
help engineers produce diagrams, create
models and perform virtual tests.
Conclusion
A mechanical engineer is trained to design
and manufacture mechanical equipment.
Mechanical engineers working full-time made a median annual salary of $80,580 in 2012, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This equals approximately $38.74 per hour.

Thesis Statement
Designing something using
knowledge of the properties of the materials, the right math, and the right tools gives you assurance that what you build will hold up.
