Mechanical Engineering: An Eternal Field

Published on September 17, 2020

Mechanical Engineering in a layman’s language can be defined as the study of any object or system in motion. Although a simple definition, it encompasses almost everything around us. Mechanical engineering can also be defined as the study of designing, prototyping, manufacturing, and maintaining all kinds of machines, simple or complex.

Right for a clapping-toy to a space shuttle and from a simple bicycle to complex medical machinery, all are under the expanse of the Mechanical Engineering field. Known as one of the oldest disciplines, it touches every aspect of human life and continuously endeavours for its betterment.

A Mechanical Engineer is a person who takes a product from an idea to the marketplace. It thus involves deep knowledge of designing, visualization, computer-aided software, manufacturing processes, metallurgy, and a highly analytical mind. A mechanical engineer can be regarded as a combination of scientists, inventors, machining experts, an accountant, and even a marketer.

Mechanical Engineering as a Career

Mechanical engineering plays a vital role in every imaginable industry including automobile, biomedical, aerospace, agriculture, robotics, electronics, computer, energy, aviation, defence, textile, automation, manufacturing, and many more.

There is lots of scope for this field as there is hardly any industrial sector where there is no need for Mechanical Engineers. Along with deep domain knowledge, students pursuing Mechanical Engineering are assigned projects which develop their leadership skills, teamwork abilities, interpersonal skills, negotiation skills, etc.

Advancement of Mechanical Engineering led to the emergence of many sub-branches, Mechatronics is one such branch. Mechatronics is the amalgamation of electrical, telecommunication, electronics, computer, and robotics engineering. There is tremendous progress in the field of Mechatronics every passing day. It is one of the sought after sub-branch of Mechanical Engineering with huge potential.

After successful completion of Mechanical Engineering, students can join any organization as a manager, junior engineer, design engineer, production engineer, manufacturing supervisor, purchase professional, marketing/sales personnel, or a maintenance engineer.
