What is Mechanical Engineering ?

Introduction to Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Guruje

Mechanical Engineering is the one of the Branch of Engineering.

In this Branch we studied about Design of mechanical components, Construction of mechanical components, also about thermal components, parts of Automobile, Domestic Mechanical Components, Hydraulic Mechanical Component.

It also combines engineering physics and mathematics principles with materials science to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems.

 It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering branches. It includes Mechanics, Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Material Science, Structural Science, Fluid Mechanics and more. There is also uses mechanical engineering in Robotics, Aeronautical Engineering and others.

Education :

There is many types of courses are available in Mechanical Engineering.

• Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (Through Polytechnic) - It is a three Year Diploma Course in Mechanical Engineering which is equivalent for Intermediate.

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering - It is a 4 Year degree Course which is equivalent for Graduation. Its popularly known as B.Tech. 

• Master in Mechanical Engineering  - It is a Post Graduate Course in Mechanical Engineering. It is popularly known as M.Tech
