Meaning of Various Engineering Branches

Mechanical Engineering:

Mechanical engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of physics and
materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems.

Mechanical Engineering is the mother of all branches. The contribution of this branch is
enormous in the growth of technology over the centuries. The scope of the course varies from
material research to machinery development, Nano Technology, Smart materials, Aerospace
Technology, Missiles technology, CAD/CAM, FMS, CIM, Automation and such other interrelated
developments.

The engineering field requires a solid understanding of core concepts including mechanics, kinematics,
thermodynamics, materials science, and structural analysis.

The areas of study includes Manufacturing processes, Mechanical vibrations, Mechatronics,

Heat and Mass Transfer, Tool Engineering and Design, Design of machine elements, Computer
Integrated Manufacturing and Robotics.
