Mech Dept.
Mechanical Engineering is one of the oldest branches of engineering. It
is often referred to as the “mother” branch of engineering. Another
appealing feature of mechanical engineering is that the application base
of the study is extremely broad and diverse. Almost all inventions
during the ancient period and a vast majority of findings of modern era
are direct contributions of one or the other applications of mechanics.
It is the discipline of engineering that applies the principles of
physics and material science for analysis, design, manufacturing and
maintenance of mechanical systems. Mechanical engineering overlaps with
aerospace engineering, marine engineering, building services
engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, petroleum
engineering and chemical engineering in varying amounts.
Traditionally mechanical engineers have to deal with the concepts such
as mechanics, thermodynamics, robotics, kinematics, structural analysis,
fluid mechanics and many others. These concepts are applied in the
process of designing state-of-art manufacturing units, different types
of motor vehicles, aircraft and aerospace parts and a vast assortment of
industrial machinery. Mechanical engineers also contribute in the
development of various engines, power plant equipments and heating and
cooling systems. Mechanical engineers not only design and manufacture
new mechanical systems but also are responsible for testing and
maintaining them. In addition to the above traditional tasks, nowadays
mechanical engineers are focusing their attention to the new areas of
research such as nanotechnology, development of high temperature
composite materials, biomedical applications, environmental conservation
etc. Mechanical engineering offers a wide bouquet of job options to
students looking for a stable and stimulating career.
