Mechanical Engineering: Introduction, Career and Scope Introduction Mechanical Engineering is one of the oldest branches of Engineering. It is also known as ‘mother’ branch of Engineering. It is most fundamental field of Engineering. It involves designing, development and production. Mechanical Engineers get job opportunities in both private and public sectors. They also have equal opportunities outside India. All the courses in mechanical engineering based on pure mathematics and logic of physics. Almost all inventions are contributions of one or more applications of Mechanical Engineering. Mechanical Engineers need to deal with different concepts such as mechanics, robotics, kinematics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and so many. These concepts are used in designing manufacturing units, vessels, aircraft, aerospace parts and different types of motor vehicles. There is huge contribution of Mechanical Engineers in the development of engines, power plants, heating and cooling equipment. There are so many examples in front of us which are possible only because of mechanics. The responsibilities of Mechanical Engineers never end. They are also responsible for the maintenance and testing of installed systems. Mechanical Engineers are focussing on the new areas of research like Energy and Health. 1. Energy The Mechanical Engineering department has established strengths in research related to energy generation and conversion. 2. Health Develop new medical devices. The scope of mechanical engineering is increasing and now requires professionals to involve in financial and marketing aspects of product development and people management. It offers a wide array of job options to students who are looking for lucrative career.
