Mechanical Engineering Is The Discipline That Applies

Mechanical engineering is the discipline that applies principles of engineering, physics, and materials science to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. It is one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines. Mechanical engineering requires an understanding of core areas like mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics, materials science, and structural analysis. Mechanical engineers design and analyze systems like manufacturing plants, machinery, transport systems, medical devices, and weapons using tools such as CAD and product lifecycle management. The field has evolved from its origins in the Industrial Revolution to incorporate new areas including composites, mechatronics, and nanotechnology.

Mechanical engineering

Mechanical engineering is the discipline that applies engineering, physics, and materials
science principles to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. It is one
of the oldest and broadest of the engineering disciplines.
The mechanical engineering field requires an understanding of core areas
including mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics, materials science, structural analysis,
and electricity. In addition to these core principles, mechanical engineers use tools such
as computer-aided design (CAD), and product life cycle management to design and
analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling
systems, transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices, weapons, and others.
It is the branch of engineering that involves the design, production, and operation
of machinery.[1][2]
Mechanical engineering emerged as a field during the Industrial Revolution in Europe in the 18th
century; however, its development can be traced back several thousand years around the world.
In the 19th century, developments in physics led to the development of mechanical engineering
science. The field has continually evolved to incorporate advancements; today mechanical
engineers are pursuing developments in such areas as composites, mechatronics,
and nanotechnology. It also overlaps with aerospace engineering, metallurgical engineering, civil
engineering, electrical engineering, manufacturing engineering, chemical engineering, industrial
engineering, and other engineering disciplines to varying amounts. Mechanical engineers may
also work in the field of biomedical engineering, specifically with biomechanics, transport
phenomena, biomechatronics, bionanotechnology, and modeling of biological systems.
