most important people in Matthiessen Hegeler Zinc Company, and played an important row in helping people during World War II.

Early Life
Mary Hegeler Carus was born in a small two-story house located in Matthiessen Hegeler Zinc Company in La Salle, Illinois. Her parents, Maria Camilla Weisbach and Edward C. Hegeler were both German - American immigrants. From a young age, Mary started accompanying his father at the Zinc company. From observing his father and the cooperation, Mary got the basic skill of a engineer. She started handling serious tasks like inspecting the flames of the furnaces and making recommendations for adjustments. At the age of 16, Mary started several jobs at the Zinc Company, experiencing life at different departments of the companies. Then, she proceed to High School studies, and attended a local High School, Old La Salle City High School. She was a hardworking learning, taking notes on her classes, and gained solid sicence and engineering knowledge. At the same time, her father's business, the Matthiessen Hegeler Zinc Company, provided her with the oppotunities for experiencing business world. She also had the oppotunity to experience lawsuit by witnessing his father run for the senater. Mary Hegeler Carus's early life was very different from the experiences of other women at that time period, and was crucial to her life afterwards.

A Legendary Path
Due to her earlier experience, working at Matthiessen Hegeler Zinc Company and getting engineering knowledge, Mary Hegeler Carous chose a path which was unpresidented for women. She decided to attend a coed school, University of Michigan. She got the idea that women can excel at engineering just like men, and believed in gender equality due to all the time she spent at Matthiessen Hegeler Zinc Company in her early life. She was highly engaged in learning STEM at UMich, and She then took a step further, and attended Freiberg University of Mining and Technology in Germany, one of the top three mining school at that time. And most astonishingly, it was an all-male academy. She focused on mining, just like her father did at that academy three decades ago. Besides that, she also took Electrical Engineering, Inorganic Chemistry, Chemical Technology, and Quantitative Analysis. Unfortunatelyand irritatingly, she was denied a degree because she was a women. She earned the highest degree poossible at Freiberg University of Mining and Technology, but her relationships and family failed to let her officially graduate. It is really sad that a talented women like Mary could not earn a degree due to the gender discrimination happening in the STEM, but it certainly made her choosing this legendary path more astonishing.

Article Evaluation
Mechanical Engineering This article about Mechanical Engineering is very detailed. Everything in this Wiki article is relevant to Mechanical Engineering and nothing distracts me during my reading. All the sources cited are pretty current, and I don't think there are out-dated information. The tone is all neutral, talking about the history of Mechanical Engineering, career options and nowadays high-tech applications. After checking 5 citation links, all of them works and supports the topic. They are all from pretty neutral sources, like dictionaries and encyclopedias. This article does not meet good article criteria, and nearly all the talks are about academic staff of Mechanical Engineering. I think the talk page went more to academics than discussing how to make this wiki page better.
