2. What is Mechanical Engineering
 Mechanical engineering is an engineering discipline
that applies the principles of physics and materials
science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and
maintenance of mechanical systems.
 It is the branch of engineering that involves the
production and usage of heat and mechanical power
for the design, production, and operation of machines
and tools.
 It is one of the oldest and broadest engineering
disciplines.
