MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
Mechanical engineering is the discipline that applies the principles of engineering, physics, chemistry, and material science for the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the design, production, and operation of machinery. It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering disciplines.
Mechanical engineering is the most versatile of all engineering disciplines. The engineering field requires an understanding of core concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, material science, chemistry, structural analysis, strength of materials, programming, electronics and electricity, etc. Mechanical engineers utilize these core concepts along with tools such as computer-aided engineering, product lifecycle management, CNC (Computer Numerical Control), and PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers) to design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, robotics, medical devices, weapon systems, and other numerous mechanical systems.
