What Do They Do? MECHANICAL ENGINEERS

Concerns with the design, development and manufacture of machines and mechanical engineering systems

Mechanical Eng. Domain

1. Development (Analysis, Research)
2. Design 3. Manufacture 4. Maintenance of mechanical system 5. Consultation

Mechanical Eng. Domain

Modern analysis and design processes in mechanical engineering are aided by various computational tools including FEA, CFD, and CAD/CAM. Manufacturing is typically accomplished with the aid of CNC machines including robots, milling machines, and lathes.

Mechanical Eng. Domain

Manufacturing is the transformation of raw materials into finished goods for sale by means of tools and a processing medium, and including all intermediate processes involving the production or finishing of component parts ("semi-manufactures").

Mechanical Eng. Profession

Will lead you into one of a broadest area engineering. There are job for Mechanical Engineer in nearly every area of industry

Mechanical Eng. Profession

Mechanical engineering touches almost every aspect of our life.

Mechanical engineers find employment in virtually every

industry, such as the automotive and aerospace industries, manufacturing, consulting firms, and with government offices

and agencies.
Career opportunities are abundant, varied, and rewarding

Disciplines in Mechanical Eng.

The engineer might start from a blank sheet of paper, conceive something new, develop and refine it so that it works reliably, and all the while satisfy constraints of manufacturability, safety, and cost. An engineer creates a machine, product, or system that helps someone to solve a technical problem Mechanical engineers develop hardware that exploits those elements in order to serve a useful purpose. Original design is always the underlying factor:
