Careers in Mechanical Engineering Overview: Mechanical Engineering applies the knowledge of Physics and other sciences to the design, manufacture, installation, operation, maintenance and repair of all types of equipment and machinery, which may be used for generation of power, manufacture of many other devices/machines and processing of materials and goods. Mechanical engineers research, develop, design, manufacture, and test tools, engines, machines, and other mechanical devices. They work on power-producing machines such as electric generators, internal combustion engines, and steam and gas turbines, as well as 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. Mechanical engineers also design tools that other engineers need for their work. In mechanical Engineering student usually get to know about Mechanics of Materials, Thermodynamics, Hydraulic Machinery, Machine Design, Machine Tools, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, Energy Resources and Utilization, Quality Control, Instrumentation and Control, Mechanical Vibration, Power Plants, Operation Research, and Production Management.

Mechanical engineers work independently and in teams, and may supervise small groups of staff.
