Mechanical engineering is the branch of engineering that studies movement and mechanics. It has been applied throughout history in many societies to develop machines and structures. A mechanical engineer works in various roles including designing, assembling, and maintaining mechanical systems and equipment. Their knowledge can be applied across many industries like automotive, manufacturing, energy production, and more.

What is mechanical engineering? Many
people believe they have the answer to
what this simple question should ask, right?
However, in most cases they are usually
wrong with the description that gives this
concept , becoming interpreting it as that
profession that is responsible for repairing
cars, even in the 21st century, there is an
association of concepts between
automotive mechanics and mechanical
engineering.
First let's understand a key concept,
Mechanical Engineering is the discipline that
studies the movement of bodies, which is
the change of initial referential position that
a body has, up to an end point.
In this magazine we will clarify everything
related to this discipline of science, from its
concept, and its field of application.

echanical engineering is one of the oldest and most
important branches of engineering, it can study and
specifically perfect the principles of thermodynamics , heat
transfer, mechanical, classical mechanics, differential
mechanics, waves, trigonometry, calculation.
Origin
The applications of this
engineering would be
found in the archives of
many societies. In ancient
Greece, the works of
Arquimedes (287 b.C- 212
b.C) have profoundly
influenced western
Mechanics and Herón of
Alexandria (10 a.C -70
a.C) created the first
engine.
In china Zhang Heng
(78-139 a.C) improves a
needle clock and invented
a seism maker, and Ma
Jung (200-265 a.C)
invented a carriage with
gear differential. The
Chinese engineer Su Song
(1020-1101 a.C)
incorporated an escape
mechanism in his clock
towers two centuries
before any escape could be
found in the mediaeval
European watches, as well
as the first transmission
chain.

What is Mechanical
engineering?
The main general areas developed by mechanical
engineers include the development of projects in the fields
of engineering that have as its object construction, reform,
repair, conservation, demolition, manufacturing,
installation, assembly or exploitation of: structures,
mechanical equipment, energy installations.

tasks of a
Mechanical
engineer
Should
participate in the
planning and
execution of
research projects
He can plan
and direct
manufacturing
and
maintenance
must solve
problems related
to machines and
processes.
He might

and install

Who is a mechanical
engineer?
He is a professional who develops in different
tasks on design, assembly and development.
Can implement his knowledge to elaborate a
new object and can also be in charge of
assembling the operating system of the
device. At the same time he can demonstrate
his skills to perform energy analyzes in
different spaces, he could also be in charge of
alternative research for the use of energy sources; can develop improvements in
industrialization processes, in his machinery with the modernization of the processes
that a team performs, or with the development of a new venture.

Why should I study mechanical engineering?
What aptitudes should a mechanical
engineer have?
There are a series of aptitudes that allow
him to develop this work more
efficiently. Showing those next:
• Have skill in mathematics, chemical
and technology subjects
• Be interested to be up to date in
everything that refers to technological
products.
• Be available to assume
responsibilities.
• Have the capacity to solve problems
and to work as a team.
• Ability to communicate in a simple
way specialized information.
• Ability to investigate, write and
submit reports.
Studying the stuff of mechanical engineering
gives the possibility to the professional to be at
the head of all projects, can elaborate from pieces
to the appliances itself, which use those parties
carried out.
He can also be part of an interdisciplinary group and carry out the planning of an enterprise
that has new ideas as its objective. Or dedicate himself to making improvements to existing
equipment.
The duration of the degree, as in most
engineering, lasts from five to six years,
which will depend on the entity that
provides the degree. There are universities
that offer specializations which the student
will be able to study after their degree.
Among these specializations are:
 Master in automotive engineering.
 Master in Industrial engineering.
 Master in Industrial Organization.

Mechanical engineers can influence almost any industry in
the global market, directly or indirectly, and that is one of the
reasons why, in addition to having a wide field of application,
mechanical engineers usually have very good remuneration.
Some places where a mechanical engineer can practice are:
 Assembly and production in the automotive industry:
one of the most popular reasons why many engineers
decide to study the mechanics-focused field is because
the taste for automobiles.
 Manufacture of household appliances: the production
of household appliance has a wide labor market in
which these professionals can develop.
 Biomechanical technological development:
Mechanical engineering gives you the opportunity to
transform people’s lives in ways you may never have
imagined, since by connecting with other sciences
such as biomechanics you can help those around you
and improve their quality live.
 Organisms that generate and take advantage of
mechanical energy: other od the great fields of action
any mechanical engineer is that of the generation and
use of energy. if we take into account that this force is
needed by all people since we are born to carry out our
daily activities, you
will know that
there is much to do
in this area.
