MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines—
offering opportunities to specialize in areas such as robotics, aerospace,
automotive engineering, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning),
biomechanics, and more. Mechanical engineers design, develop, build, and
test. They deal with anything that moves, from components to machines to the
human body. The work of mechanical engineers plays a crucial role in shaping
the technology and infrastructure that drive our modern world.

What Is Mechanical Engineering?

Technically, mechanical engineering is the application of the principles and
problem-solving techniques of engineering from design to manufacturing to the
marketplace for any object. Mechanical engineers analyze their work using the
principles of motion, energy, and force—ensuring that designs function safely,
efficiently, and reliably, all at a competitive cost.
Mechanical engineers make a difference. That's because mechanical engineering
careers center on creating technologies to meet human needs. Virtually every
product or service in modern life has probably been touched in some way by a
mechanical engineer to help humankind.

This includes solving today's problems and creating future solutions in health
care, energy, transportation, world hunger, space exploration, climate change,
and more.

Being ingrained in many challenges and innovations across many fields means a
mechanical engineering education is versatile. To meet this broad demand,
mechanical engineers may design a component, a machine, a system, or a
process. This ranges from the macro to the micro, from the largest systems like
cars and satellites to the smallest components like sensors and switches.
Anything that needs to be manufactured—indeed, anything with moving parts—
needs the expertise of a mechanical engineer.
What do mechanical engineers do?
Mechanical engineering combines creativity, knowledge and analytical tools to
complete the difficult task of shaping an idea into reality.
This transformation happens at the personal scale, affecting human lives on a
level we can reach out and touch like robotic prostheses. It happens on the local
scale, affecting people in community-level spaces, like with agile interconnected
microgrids. And it happens on bigger scales, like with advanced power systems,
through engineering that operates nationwide or across the globe.
Mechanical engineers have an enormous range of opportunity and their
education mirrors this breadth of subjects. Students concentrate on one area
while strengthening analytical and problem-solving skills applicable to any
engineering situation. Mechanical engineers work on a wide range of projects,
from designing engines, power plants, and robots to developing heating and
cooling systems, manufacturing processes, and even nanotechnology.

structure. Once a system is in motion, mechanical engineers look at dynamics,
or what velocities, accelerations and resulting forces come into
play. Kinematics then examines how a mechanism behaves as it moves through
its range of motion.
Materials science delves into determining the best materials for different
applications. A part of that is materials strength—testing support loads,
stiffness, brittleness and other properties—which is essential for many
construction, automobile, and medical materials.
How energy gets converted into useful power is the heart of thermodynamics,
as well as determining what energy is lost in the process. One specific kind of
energy, heat transfer, is crucial in many applications and requires gathering and
analyzing temperature data and distributions.
Fluid mechanics, which also has a variety of applications, looks at many
properties including pressure drops from fluid flow and aerodynamic drag
forces.
Manufacturing is an important step in mechanical engineering. Within the
field, researchers investigate the best processes to make manufacturing more
efficient. Laboratory methods focus on improving how to measure both
thermal and mechanical engineering products and processes. Likewise, machine
design develops equipment-scale processes while electrical
engineering focuses on circuitry. All this equipment produces vibrations,
another field of mechanical engineering, in which researchers study how to
predict and control vibrations.
Engineering economics makes mechanical designs relevant and usable in the
real world by estimating manufacturing and life cycle costs of materials,
designs, and other engineered products.
