According to the article, a degree in mechanical engineering can take you a long way. There are some people who graduated with mechanical engineering degree and they try to have a job. They ask what skills you have gained from this degree. How can you improve your skills by using them in your work? Mechanical engineering can open doors to get a lot of range of works.

Reaction:
This article makes me happy because my major is mechanical engineering and they said it is easy to find job when you graduated. I wondered about the 29th century, because there was a difference between now and before. I was surprising when I read that 60% of the student went straight into jobs after graduating in 2009. I think it is still easy to find jobs if your major is mechanical engineering, because most of our lives depend on the technology, so mechanical is the most important thing in technology.

This project is very satisfying, because it helps the handicapped which is a very important thing in this life. I like to help a person who is handicapped or has a disease. I am interested in this project that those students made. I will help, I am sure about that, because people who are handicapped need that kind of help. I was surprised when I saw this project because Mechanical Engineering Student who made it. Because my major is Mechanical Engineering, I hope to do something like that in future.
Summary:
According to the article, Mechanical Engineering students made a magic carpet. They are studying in the University of Tulsa and they are taking the challenges any student can face. These students helped to solve the handicapped problem. They made a robot platform and they called it “The Magic Carpet”. There was one kid who rode around for 45 minutes. This kid was very happy with that the whole time. Also they invented device to help a 3-year old with cerebral palsy learn to crawl. It will help his muscles and help him develop his motion. This Magic Carpet was satisfying as they said.
