 What is an Engineer?
Engineering is the profession in which
knowledge of the mathematical and
natural sciences gained by study,
experience, and practice is applied with
judgement to develop ways to utilize,
economically, the materials and forces of
nature for the benefit of mankind.

What is Mechanical Engineering?
Mechanical engineering is the second largest
and one of the oldest disciplines; broadest of all
engineering disciplines.
Mechanical engineers apply the principles of
mechanics and energy to the design of
machines and devices:

ENERGY and MOTION

Mechanical engineers research, design, develop,
manufacture, and test tools, engines, machines, and other
mechanical devices.

Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest

engineering disciplines. Engineers in this discipline work on
power-producing machines such as electric generators, internal
combustion engines, and steam and gas turbines.
They also work on power-using machines such as refrigeration
and air-conditioning equipment, machine tools, material-
handling systems, elevators and escalators, industrial
production equipment, and robots used in manufacturing.

Some mechanical engineers design tools that other engineers

need for their work. In addition, mechanical engineers work in
manufacturing or agriculture production, maintenance, or
technical sales; many become administrators or managers.
