Mechanical engineering is the science of engineering the application of physical principles to
the analysis, design, manufacture and maintenance of a mechanical system. This science
requires an in-depth understanding of the main concepts from the branches of mechanics,
kinematics, materials engineering, thermodynamics and energy. Experts or experts from
mechanical engineering are usually referred to as engineers (mechanical engineering), who
utilize this understanding of engineering science in designing and analyzing the manufacture
of vehicles, aircraft, industrial plants, industrial equipment and machinery and so on.
Mechanical engineering usually consists of:

Mechanical Design and Construction

Manufacturing Process and Production System

Energy convertion

Materials Science / Metallurgy

Mechanical engineering began to develop as a science after the industrial revolution in


Europe in the 18th century. Then in the 19th century it grew again following the development
of physics. Mechanical engineering is becoming increasingly sophisticated, and engineers are
now developing themselves in the fields of composites, mechatronics, and nanotechnology.
This science also has a relationship with aeronautical engineering, civil engineering,
electrical engineering, petroleum engineering, and chemical engineering.
