Mechanical engineering applies scientific principles to develop and design machines and mechanical systems. It involves using mathematics and materials science knowledge to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain devices ranging from tiny micromechanisms to the largest movers on land and sea. The core tasks of mechanical engineers include creating technical drawings and prototypes, performing calculations and simulations, testing products, and working in teams to integrate engineering solutions.
3. What is an Engineering?
Engineering is the profession in which
knowledge of the mathematical and
natural sciences gained by study,
experience, and practice is applied with
judgement to develop ways to utilize,
economically, the materials and forces
of nature for the benefit of mankind.
