Then answer each question.  \nCurious About Careers: Mechanical Engineering  \nDo you like to build with blocks? Are you curious about how solar panels turn sun rays into electricity? Have you wondered how planes stay in the air? Do you wonder why putting gas into cars causes the wheels to turn? Do you like to design and create new things? If you do, a career in mechanical engineering might be right for you!  \nA mechanical engineer is responsible for coming up with and designing mechanical systems . Mechanical systems can include machine design, heating and cooling equipment, power generation, and product design. Products like the latest cellphone begin with an engineer coming up with the idea.  \nMechanical engineers are in high demand right now.  \nThat means that there are a lot of job openings for mechanical engineers, but there aren’t enough people to fill those jobs. Because there is a high need for engineers, and the work requires specialized knowledge, engineers get paid more than some other careers.  \nTo be a mechanical engineer, you need to graduate from college with a bachelor’s degree. During your years in college, you will learn problemsolving and critical thin king skills that will help you to succeed as an engineer.  \nProblem solving is very important in the field of mechanical engineering. People in this career need to be able to think about problems in different ways to figure out the best solution. You also need to be creative, because you may need to make something that’s never been made before. Attention to detail is important, as well. Many designs rely on a lot of little details that need to work together.  \nGrade 5 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nMechanical engineers should also be very comfortable using a variety of tools, such as calculators, high-speed cameras, measurement tools, and computers to assist them in completing their job. There are many computer programs mechanical engineers use to create designs in 3D, run scenarios, and analyze calculations. Engineers also use computers for research.  \nAs with many other jobs, mechanical engineers need to be able to meet deadlines and work well with other people. Some jobs can be done with just one person, but more often mechanical engineers are worki ng on a team to complete a project. If an engineer cannot manage his or her time well and misses a deadline, the entire team gets delayed, which isnot good for the company.  \nSome engineers work in an office, and some travel to different worksites while a machine or product is being built, so they can help solve any problems.  \nMechanical engineering takes a lot of thought. It is a great career for people who like to make objects and machines work, solve problems, and  \nbe creative!  \nReading and Math for K-5 © [www.k5learning.com](www.k5learning.com)  \nGrade 5 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nQuestions:  \n1.
