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
