Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering is a discipline that involves the application of laws and principles of Physics to analyze, design, manufacture and maintain mechanical systems. A mechanical engineer understands the key concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, and energy. He/she may work in varied fields that use mechanical systems including automobiles, aircraft, heating and cooling systems, manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, medical devices and more. Mechanical engineers also do research, develop, design and test tools, engines, machines, and other mechanical devices. They work on power-producing machines such as electric generators, internal combustion engines, and steam and gas turbines as well as power-using machines such as refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment, machine tools, material handling systems, elevators and escalators, industrial production equipment and robots used in manufacturing. Mechanical engineering projects can range from designing heart valves and artificial limbs, clockwork radios and dentists and drills to building racing cars, jet engines or space modules. Mechanical engineers may work in production operations in manufacturing or agriculture sectors, maintenance, or technical sales; many are also absorbed as administrators or managers. There are job opportunities for mechanical engineers in practically every field of work: transport, health, defense, manufacturing, entertainment, finance, and publishing, building, design, and research, to name a few.
