Mechanical Engineering is one of the specialisation of engineering which deals with machines; their production, design, and operation. Mechanical Engineers play a vital role in various industries such as energy conversion, biotechnology, computers, electronics, aerospace, and countless others.

A mechanical engineer’s role is to take any product through the entire journey from the idea to the marketplace. This requires them to have an understanding of the environment that any product or system, or its parts, will have to encounter, thereby designing them accordingly keeping in mind factors like durability, aesthetics, and functionality.

This discipline has an enormous depth and width which allows students several career options. Education in Mechanical Engineering equips students with analytical and creative skills that help them design a system or product, analytical tools for the achievement of their design goals, teamwork skills to design, produce and market a system, and finally, the ability to overcome any constraints along the way.
