What is Mechanical EngineeringMechanical 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.

Careers in MechanicalMechanical Engineering finds application

in all fields of technology. It is one of the primitive branches of Engineering which have remained always in demand and continue to be in the future.

This is why Mechanical trade is called as an Evergreen trade (branch). Mechanical engineers have always been needed as essential staff personnel in various industries of both public and private sector.

Opportunities Mechanical engineering has a tremendous scope such as: • Automobile Industry • Cement Industry • Steel Industry • Power Sector • Hydraulics • Manufacturing Plants • Drilling and Mining Industry • Oil and Gas Industry • Aeronautical Industry • Biotechnology • Nanotechnology • Defense sector. • Teaching • Research & Development
