What is a mechanical engineer?

Mechanical engineers design, manufacture, and study mechanical systems. Mechanical engineers analyse their work using the concepts of motion, energy, and force to guarantee that their designs are safe, efficient, and reliable without breaking the bank.

Mechanical engineers play a crucial role in society because they create the means by which people can address societal issues. Everything we use today is the result of mechanical engineering.

The diversity of issues tackled and the abundance of new insights generated make mechanical engineering a highly adaptable discipline. To meet this massive demand, mechanical engineers may design and build a new component, machine, system, or process.
