Department of Mechanical Engineering
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 profession of Mechanical Engineering, second largest among engineering
disciplines, involves the design, analysis, and manufacturing of machines.
Central to the profession is the importance of innovation and creating new
technologies and products. Mechanical engineers work in teams involved in
designing jet engines; automobiles; aircrafts and spacecrafts;
microelectromachanical acceleration and pressure sensors; heating, ventilation,
and air conditioning systems; biomedical and biomechanical devices as
artificial hip implants; and such integrated mechanical and electronic
(mechatronic) systems as robots.
Mechanical engineers are employed by small start-ups, multinational
corporations, government agencies, national laboratories, consulting firms, and
universities. They can work in areas of research, design, manufacturing, sales,
quality assurance or management.
