SCOPE OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
Mechanical engineering, one of the oldest branches of Engineering, deals with the design, manufacturing, and maintenance of machines. Mechanical engineering includes the design and manufacturing of industrial machinery, the best state-of-the-art motor vehicles, and aircraft. Moreover, the maintenance and testing of such machinery are key responsibilities of mechanical engineers. The mechanical engineering field engulfs the concepts of thermodynamics, mechanics, fluids, and structural analysis. Not only machinery and vehicles, mechanical engineers learn to develop engines, complex machinery systems, and power equipment. They learn the application of material science, physics, and applied mathematics.
With the advancement of new technology, the scope of mechanical engineering has expanded and new domain includes robotics, geomechanics, nanotechnology, and computer-aided design. Many engineers opt for robotics and mechatronics, which are the combinations of mechanical engineering stream with other streams.
