"Mechanical engineering is the study of physical machines that may involve force and movement."
It is the broadest engineering specialty, which includes the study of mechanics, heat transfer, and energy conversion. It involves creating and designing various types of machinery, vehicles, and other mechanical systems that can be employed in various industries.
Statics: The study of bodies at rest or in constant motion.
Dynamics: The study of bodies in motion under the action of forces.
Thermodynamics: The study of energy and its transformations.
Fluid Mechanics: The study of fluids in motion.
Materials Science: The study of the properties and behavior of materials.
Manufacturing Processes: The study of how products are made.
CAD/CAM: The use of computer software to design and manufacture products.
Machine Design: The design of machines and mechanical systems.
Robotics: The study of robots and their behavior.
Mechatronics: The combination of mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering.
Control Engineering: The study of controlling systems and processes.
Vibration Analysis: The study of mechanical oscillations and their effects.
Strength of Materials: The study of how materials withstand applied force.
Finite Element Analysis: The study of how structures respond to stress and strain.
Product Design: The design of new products and systems.
"Mechanical engineering requires an understanding of core areas including mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics, materials science, design, structural analysis, and electricity."
"Mechanical engineers use tools such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), 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, weapons, and others."
"Mechanical engineering emerged as a field during the Industrial Revolution in Europe in the 18th century."
"The field has continually evolved to incorporate advancements; today mechanical engineers are pursuing developments in such areas as composites, mechatronics, and nanotechnology."
"It also overlaps with aerospace engineering, metallurgical engineering, civil engineering, structural engineering, electrical engineering, manufacturing engineering, chemical engineering, industrial engineering, and other engineering disciplines to varying amounts."
"Mechanical engineers may also work in the field of biomedical engineering, specifically with biomechanics, transport phenomena, biomechatronics, bionanotechnology, and modeling of biological systems."
