List of Disciplines

Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest and most important types of engineering, dating back to the 18th century Industrial Revolution. By all means, mechanical engineering is a sub-discipline of engineering and technology. It uses physics, mathematics, and engineering problem-solving approaches to build, design, and constructs a mechanical product. Mechanical Engineering teaches students how to analyse their work using the concepts of motion, energy, and force, ensuring that designs perform safely, effectively, and reliably at a competitive cost. Mechanical Engineering is a field of study that frequently intersects with Acoustics, Aerospace, Automation, Automotive, Autonomous Systems, Biotechnology, Composites, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), and Control Systems. Mechanical engineering is a highly specialised field, and students must be well-versed in mathematics, physics, as well as problem-solving and creative abilities.

Mechanical engineers design and build mechanical systems such as machines, engines, and gas turbines. A Mechanical Engineer's duty is to take fresh ideas, change them, and then create them for market sale. In this sense, machines encompass a wide range of equipment for usage in practically all activity networks. A Mechanical Engineer creates useful and powerful machinery, the most common of which being generators, engines, escalators, refrigeration units, and air-conditioning systems. It is the obligation of Mechanical Engineers to evaluate all types of convenience for usage and safety before mechanical devices are made available to the public. Mechanical Engineering considers it appropriate for engineers to construct products ranging from little devices to massive machine equipment.
