ABOUT MECHANICAL ENGINEER
MECHANICAL ENGINEER:
Mechanical engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of physics and materials
science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the
production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design, production, and
operation of machines and tools. It is one
of the oldest and broadest engineering
disciplines.
The engineering field requires an understanding of core concepts
including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials
science, structural
analysis, and electricity. Mechanical engineers use these core principles along with
tools like computer-aided
engineering and product
lifecycle management to design and analyze manufacturing
plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical
devices, and others.
Mechanical engineering emerged as a field during the industrial
revolution in Europe in the 18th century; however, its development can
be traced back several thousand years around the world. Mechanical engineering
science emerged in the 19th century as a result of developments in the field of
physics. The field has continually evolved to
incorporate advancements in technology, and mechanical engineers today are
pursuing developments in such fields as composites, mechatronics,
and nanotechnology. Mechanical engineering overlaps with aerospace engineering, metallurgical
engineering, marine
engineering, civil
engineering, electrical
engineering, petroleum
engineering, manufacturing
engineering, and chemical engineering to varying amounts
ENGINEER:
Engineering is the science, skill, and profession of acquiring and applying scientific, economic, social,
and practical knowledge, in order to design and also build structures, machines, devices, systems, materials
and processes.
The American
Engineers' Council for Professional Development (ECPD, the predecessor of ABET). has defined "engineering" as:
The creative application of
scientific principles to design or develop structures, machines, apparatus, or
manufacturing processes, or works utilizing them singly or in combination; or
to construct or operate the same with full cognizance of their design; or to
forecast their behavior under specific operating conditions; all as respects an
intended function, economics of operation or safety to life and property.
One who practices engineering is
called an engineer, and
those licensed to do so may have more formal designations such asProfessional Engineer, Chartered Engineer, Incorporated Engineer, Ingenieur or European
Engineer. The broad discipline of engineering encompasses a range of more
specialized sub disciplines, each with a more specific
emphasis on certain fields of application and particular areas of technology.
WHO IS A MECHANIC:
A mechanic is a tradesman, craftsman, or technician who uses tools to build or repair machinery. Many mechanics are specialized in a particular field such
as auto mechanics, bicycle
mechanics, motorcycle mechanics, boiler mechanics, general mechanics, industrial maintenance
mechanics (millwrights), air conditioning and refrigeration mechanics, aircraft
mechanics, diesel
mechanics, and tank mechanics in the armed
services. Auto mechanics, for example, have many
trades within. Some may specialize in the electrical aspects, while others may specialize in the mechanical aspects. Other areas include:brakes and steering, automatic or standard transmission, engine repairs or diagnosing customer complaints. An auto technician has a wide variety of topics
to study. A mechanic is typically certified by a trade
association or regional government power.
LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR
Lamborghini:
The Lamborghini Aventador LP 700–4 is a two-door, two-seater sports
car publicly unveiled by Lamborghini at the Geneva
Motor Show on 28 February 2011, five months after its initial
unveiling in Sant'Agata
Bolognese. Internally codenamed LB834, the Aventador was designed to replace
the ten-year-old Murciélago as the new flagship model in the Lamborghini lineup
starting in 2011. Soon after the Aventador unveiling, Lamborghini announced
that it had already sold over 12 months of the production vehicles, with
deliveries starting in the second half of 2011.
According to
Lamborghini promotional materials, Aventador name was chosen for its symbolic
connection to the world of fighting bulls, sharing a name with the legendary
Aventador, a trophy-winning bull in the world of Spanish bullfighting. Bred by the sons of Don Celestino Cuadri Vides, the bull
that bore the number 32 took part in a notably spirited, bloody and violent
battle with a torero in the town of Zaragoza,
Spainthat earned him the “Trofeo de la Peña La
Madroñera" in 1993.

BUGATTI VEYRON:
In 1998, the Volkswagen Group purchased
the trademark rights on the former car manufacturer Bugatti in order to revive
the brand.Starting with the Bugatti EB118, they presented at
various international auto shows a total of four 18-cylinder concept cars. At
the 1999 Tokyo Motor Show, the first study of
the Veyron was presented. At the time the name of the concept car
was "Bugatti Veyron EB 18.4" and it was equipped with a 18-cylinder
engine instead of the 16-cylinder engine of the production version. While the
three previous prototypes had been styled by Giugiaro, the Veyron was designed
by the Volkswagen stylists.
The decision to start production of the
car was taken by the Volkswagen Group in 2001. The first roadworthy prototype
was completed in August 2003. It is identical except for a few details to the
later series variant. In the development to series production, however,
considerable technical problems had to be addressed, so that the start of
production was delayed repeatedly, until September 2005.
NAME ORIGIN:
The Veyron EB 16.4 is named in honor of Pierre
Veyron, a
Bugatti development engineer, test driver and company race driver who, with
co-driver Jean-Pierre Wimille, won the 1939 24
hours of Le Mans while
driving a Bugatti.The "EB" refers to Bugatti founder Ettore Bugatti
and the "16.4" refers to the engine's 16 cylinders and 4 turbochargers.
