Mechanical engineering is concerned with the design, development, and manufacture of machines. Mechanical engineers study how materials behave under forces and stresses, and use this knowledge to design tools, engines, vehicles, heating and cooling systems, and other machinery. They are involved in all aspects of energy production and conversion. Mechanical engineers use mathematics and science to solve problems, and are expected to constantly improve designs. They may work in research and development, manufacturing, maintenance, technical sales, administration, or management. The field covers a broad range of industries and specializations.

2. Oxford English Dictionary defines the
adjective mechanical as skilled in the
practical application of an art or science, of
the nature of a machine and relating to or
caused movement, physical forces,
properties or agents such as is dealt with
by mechanics.

3. •
Design, develop and produce many of tools used by other engineer
(innovations)
•
Study the behavior of the materials when forces are applied to
them or when they are heated or cooled. Using this knowledge,
they design machines such as automobiles, air conditioners and
submarines.
•
Involve with all forms of energy utilization and conversion,
manufacturing (production) material and processes and engines.
•
Use mathematics and physical sciences to analyze problem
•
Expected to constantly improve, re-design and invent equipment
•
May work in maintenance, technical sales, or as administrators
or managers.
