What is

Mechanical Engineering Is
Mechanical Engineering is the broadest of all the engineering

disciplines.
Working with motion, energy, forces, and materials.
Concerned with analysis, design, manufacture and operation of
areas such as:

Energy
Environment
Manufacturing

Defense
Health & Bio
Transportation

Finding creative solutions to difficult problems!

Why Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineers are characterized by personal creativity, breadth of

knowledge, and Versatility. Almost every industry needs mechanical

engineer
Examples: Fan, Air Conditions, Railways, Aerodynamics, Sensors, Robotics Etc

Mechanical Engineers are also valuable reliable multidisciplinary team member ,

and play an important role in industry.

Mechanical Engineers are involved in power generation , uses of energy, processing
of materials, controls and automation of manufacturing systems etc

Why Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineers are play an important role in

an industry such as
Automotive: car chassis, suspension system,
transmission, sensors
Aero space : air craft design of body, Rocket,
Propellant etc.

Solutions for typical problems in the environment and society

Finding creative solutions to difficult problems such as
Comfort: Air conditions, washing machine
Car: Comfort of passenger, Air bags ( between driver and
steering, for avoiding death)
Buoyancies forces : Munch gund incident (bring the boat from
bottom of the river)
Nano Component design for more optimum and comfortable :
computer design- tablets
