Mechanical engineering is the discipline that applies engineering, physics and science
materials to designing and analyzing mechanical systems. This field requires an
understanding of core areas including mechanics, dynamic, thermodynamics,
structural analysis and electricity. Mechanic engineering emerged like a field during the
Industrial Revolution, but the application of this can be seen in the archives of different
ancient and medieval societies. However, when we talk about Mechanical Engineering
it’s important to consider how is the Mechanical Engineering improving the lifestyle of
the people, how it’s seen in Colombia and the development of this field in the country.
In Colombia the mechanical engineering is seen to protect the people’s lives due to the
violence problems of the country. An unmanned robot (UAV) is the creation of Juan
Pablo Rodriguez and Carolina Castiblanco, students of engineering of the Javeriana
university to detect anti personal mines. The UAV uses a visual recognition system to
detect those mines that are partially visible on the ground. Inventions like these are the
most important for a country like this, with so many problems of violence, robots like
UAV has saved many lives of soldiers. So this shows that Colombia hasn’t stayed
behind in term of technological advances.
To improve people’s lifestyles and the state of the planetarium in general it’s necessary
to advance in technology, mechanical engineering demonstrates many ways of caring
for the environment. Even in Colombia need more focus on technology because this
country is just being developed in this area so that development of the technology
should be compatible with the reduction of contamination. But why the government
won’t focus on new technologies for a developing country like Colombia.
