Mechanical engineers are found in dozens of industries, and the technical divisions of ASME span from aerospace to tribology. However, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the arm of the U.S. government tasked with tracking employment, found that of the 303,440 mechanical engineers at work in the United States in May 2018 the date of its most recent estimate of industry-specific occupational employment and wages, 148,890 work in the manufacturing sector. That’s 49 percent of all mechanical engineers.

As the world’s leading economy, the U.S. is under pressure to produce the best minds to solve the greatest challenges facing mankind. The problem is, the United States is falling behind in some of the most important areas of education to help solve the problems of today and tomorrow. The crisis in STEM fields - which cover science, technology, engineering and mathematics - is threatening the growing workforce and in turn, the country’s position in the global economy.

Service robots assist humans in performing tasks that are either too dirty, dull, dangerous, or distant, excluding industrial automation. These semi-autonomous or fully autonomous robots perform domestic tasks-such as vacuuming or lawn maintenance; they work in hospitals, fields, and warehouses; they inspect infrastructure and explore deep sea; they entertain humans and provide directions and engagement at various events. The number of service robots being sold is increasing explosively. Some 361,000 professional service robots were expected to be sold in 2019, up from 271,000 in the previous year.
