MECHANICAL ENGINEERING


Introduction

Mechanical Engineering is an engineering discipline that involves the application of principles of physics for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It requires a solid understanding of key concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics and energy. Mechanical engineers use these principles and others in the design and analysis of automobiles, aircraft, heating & cooling systems, manufacturing plants, industrial equipments and machineries, medical devices.

Students learn the following fundamental subjects of mechanical engineering, statics & dynamics
  • Strength of materials & solid mechanics
  • Instrumentation and measurement
  • Thermodynamics, heat transfer, energy conversion, and refrigeration/air conditioning
  • Fluid mechanics/fluid dynamics
  • Mechanism design including kinematics and dynamics
  • Manufacturing technology or processes
  • Hydraulics & pneumatics
  • Engineering design
  • CAD/CAM Center
  • Mechatronics or control theory
  • Drafting, CAD (usually including Solid Modeling), CAM and many more.


Scope Of Mechanical Engineering

A Mechanical Engineering graduate has the scope of taking up any one of the following professional design and manufacturing work in new diverse industries that are coming up at present, development of equipments' processes and products for industries, management (manufacturing, marketing, personnel, materials, quality and maintenance), fabrication work required for Civil, Electrical, Chemical and Metallurgical Projects. They have broad opportunities in teaching and research, entrepreneurship & management of small scale industries and Energy Engineering in both conventional and non-conventional fields. Mechanical Engineering Graduates can find employment opportunities in the diversified branches of the mechanical field. They are employed in many types of manufacturing, fabrication, research and development, and service industries, in Railway Engineering, Aerospace, Automobile Industry, Power Plants, Manufacturing Industries that includes Materials, Refined Metals, Interplanetary Space Vehicles; Copying Machines, Fax Machines, Staplers, and Mechanical Pencils used in the office; and Lathes, Milling Machines, Grinders, and Drill Presses used in the manufacturing of goods. Mechanical Engineers also design and operate power plants and are concerned with the economical combustion of fuels, the conversion of heat energy into mechanical energy, and the use of the mechanical energy to perform useful work. The Mechanical Engineering provides a solid foundation for professional engineering practice, and further study in Mechanical Engineering and many other related fields. The major requirements develop the students' ability to apply scientific principles in the design and analysis of mechanical and energy conversion systems. Students are challenged with design problems in most of the major courses, which provide opportunities for developing creativity in solving real-world problems. This is the largest and oldest branch of the engineering profession. It is concerned with the design, development, manufacture, operation and maintenance of many types of plants, machinery and mechanical products. New areas include Robotic Inspection Systems, Cryogenic technology for Material Treatment, Laser Material Processing, etc. Mechanical means mechanisms of machines. A Mechanical Engineer is a person skilled in design, production and maintenance or repair of machines, according to oxford concise dictionary. It is a discipline in which mathematics and science are blended with experience and judgment for the production of useful serviceable goods with economy of the material. Historically, Civil Engineering and Military Engineering were the primary classification of engineering. They developed technical aids of warfare and defense. In 1906, efforts were initiated to establish Mechanical Engineering separate at Banaras, Guindy, Pune & Bengal. With growing civilization, Civil Engineering came to be concerned primarily with static structures like dams, bridges, buildings and roads, while the Mechanical Engineering concentrated on dynamic structures such as machinery, engines, turbines and pumps.

Probably the earliest-known mechanical invention is due to Archimedes,(287-212 B.C.), Who developed a water screw and a lever for moving heavy weights by a small force. The process of industrial revolution, however began invention of atmospheric steam engine by Thomas Newcomen in the year 1712 followed by steam engine by James Watt in the year 1768. By the year 1786, steam engine were being used for driving paper mills, corn mills, cotton spinning mills and deployed in steel, mining and other industries. These engines were used to propel boats, ships and railroad carriages, etc by the year 1825. The course of transport-industry was dramatically changed by the introduction of I.C. engines in the year 1885.

What Students Study

In Mechanical Engineering, students get extensive knowledge of Mathematics, Physics, Thermodynamics, Mechanics of Materials and Fluid statics, Dynamics and Chemistry with a specialized knowledge of the Metal cutting, Machine tools, Manufacturing System, etc. The syllabus in Mechanical Engineering are designed so as to cater to the needs of manufacturing industries, the power sector, corporations, private and govt. R & D departments, teaching institutions etc. With the growth of technologies the new subjects of studies are also introduced such as computer aided design and graphics, Mechatronics, Robotics, etc.
