Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering is one of the largest, broadest, and oldest engineering disciplines. It blends core concepts of science and technology. Mechanical engineers use the principles of energy, materials, and mechanics to analyze, design, and manufacture complex machines and devices of all types. They create the processes and systems that drive almost the entire technology and industry.
