Mechanical engineering is the discipline that applies the principles

of engineering, physics, and materials science for the design,

analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is
the branch of engineering that involves the design, production, and
operation of machinery. It is one of the oldest and broadest of
the engineering disciplines.

Top 10 Reasons Why should one be a Mechanical Engineer?

1. You get the opportunity to create something tangible and useful. Ur
creations will be used by others. It gives u the greatest joy.
2. Its the broadest branch of engineeringso your career options are
open even after u graduate :- Defence, Civil services, High end R&D,
Manufacturing, Design, Energy sector, Management, Entrepreneurship,
Masters(ME/MS)
3. Variety to be learnt- u learn how to design and make things ranging
from a Safety Pin to a Spacecraft.
4. Easy to imagine and visualize whatever u learn
5. Develop a range of skills u learn the work of a machine operator
(machinist), a smith, a foundry man, a mechanic, a plant manager, a
researcher and a policy maker.
6. U work with massive machines (majestic in nature) to tiny precision
instruments, micro and nano-devices. Ull be savviest engineer.

7. Importance of ur work. U form the human resource that is required for

the survival of any industry and forms the backbone of modern human
life. U r the person who may generate power/energy from natural
resources, make equipments and processes to mine minerals, make cars,
bikes ,buses, trucks, planes, ships(transportation can be compared to
human blood that transports nutrients), make machines that manufacture
products ranging from food to surgical instruments to weapons, mange
factories and businesses.
8. Get paid handsomely(after gaining a few years experience even if not
as a fresher).
9. Not much of girls hanging around(they usually dont prefer to opt for
this course, its thought to be a manly course).U dont have to worry about

not so silly but serious reason. Ur in a mans world. But there are a few out
of the ordinary and brainy girls who do take up this course and luv it.
10. It sounds and feels nice to be called a Mechanical Engineer.
