MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Definition;

Mechanical engineering is the study of physical machines that may involve force and movement. It is an engineering branch that combines engineering physics and mathematics principles with material science, to design , analyze, manufacture, and maintain  mechanical systems It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering branches.

Disciplines within mechanical engineering include but are not limited to:

• Acoustics.
• Aerospace.
• Automation.
• Automotive.
• Autonomous Systems.
• Biotechnology.
• Composites.
• Computer Aided Design (CAD

ACOUSTICS;

acoustics, the science concerned with the production, control, transmission, reception, and effects of sound. The term is derived from the Greek akoustos, meaning “heard.

AEROSPACE;

Aerospace is a term used to collectively refer to the atmosphere and outer space. Aerospace activity is very diverse, with a multitude of commercial, industrial and military applications. Aerospace engineering consists of aeronautics and astronautics.

AUTOMATION;

Automation is a term for technology applications where human input is minimized. This includes business process automation (BPA), IT automation, personal applications such as home automation and more.

AUTOMOTIVE;

The word automotive comes from the Greek autos (self), and Latin motivus (of motion), referring to any form of self-powered vehicle.

AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS;

An autonomous system (AS) is a network or a collection of networks that are all managed and supervised by a single entity or organization. An AS is a heterogeneous network typically governed by a large enterprise. An AS has many different subnetworks with combined routing logic and common routing policies.

COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN;

CAD (computer-aided design) is the use of computer-based software to aid in design processes. CAD software is frequently used by different types of engineers and designers. CAD software can be used to create two-dimensional (2-D) drawings or three-dimensional (3-D) models.

4 BRANCHES OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING;

Manufacturing. 

Mechanical Design. 

System Dynamics and

Control. Transportation Systems.

Manufacturing;

Mechanical Engineering with the focus only on Machine Tools, Materials Science, Tribology, and Quality Control is known as Manufacturing Engineering. Professional manufacturing engineers are responsible for all aspect of the design, development, implementation, operation and management of manufacturing system.

Mechanical design;

Mechanical design is to design parts, components, products, or systems of mechanical nature. For example, designs of various machine elements such as shafts, bearings, clutches, gears, and fasteners fall into the scope of mechanical design.

System dynamics;

System Dynamics is a computer-based mathematical modeling approach for strategy development and better decision making in complex systems. This approach uses computer-aided simulation methodology based on feedback systems theory which complements the other Systems Thinking approaches.

Control transportation systems;

Transportation control measures (TCMs) are strategies that reduce transportation-related air pollution, GHG emissions, and fuel use by reducing vehicle miles traveled and improving roadway operations
