Mechanical Engineering

​Mechanical engineering is a branch of engineering concerned with designing, producing and operating machinery, ranging from ranging from relatively simple items to more complex machinery and even entire facilities and plants

Mechanical engineers work to design, develop, build, and test all sorts of mechanical devices, tools, engines and machines. The work of mechanical engineers can take items right through theproduct lifecycle, from initial design and development through to installation, testing and maintenance.

Working in industries including aerospace, automotive, biotechnology, construction, computing, electronics, manufacturing, medical and more, mechanical engineers can be found developing everything from engine parts, to wind or gas turbines and fuel cells, robots, tools, and more.

One of the most diverse of all of the engineering disciplines, mechanical engineering came to the fore during the Industrial Revolution in the 18thCentury in Europe, but its roots can be traced across the world over thousands of years.
