Mechanical Engineering dates back to the 18th century Industrial Revolution and is one of the oldest and most important forms of Engineering. It is a sub-discipline in the field of Engineering and Technology. It applies the science of physics, mathematics, and problem-solving techniques of engineering, to manufacture, design, and develop a mechanical object. Mechanical Engineering moulds students to analyse their work using the principles of motion, energy, and force; ensuring that designs function safely, efficiently, and reliably, all at a competitive cost. Mechanical Engineering is a study course that often overlaps with the study of Acoustics, Aerospace, Automation, Automotive, Autonomous Systems, Biotechnology, Composites, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), and Control Systems. Mechanical Engineering is highly specialized and students need to possess knowledge in Mathematics, Physics as well as problem-solving and creative skills.

The work of Mechanical Engineers is concerned with the making of mechanical systems like machines, engines, and gas turbines. It is the job of a Mechanical Engineer to take new ideas, transform them, and then produce them for sale in the market. In this regard, machines cover a very large apparatus of paraphernalia for use in almost all networks of activity. A Mechanical Engineer designs useful and powerful machines, the most common of these would be generators, engines, escalators, refrigeration machines, and air-conditioning systems. Before mechanical devices are available for use by the public, it is the Mechanical Engineers; responsibility to test all sorts of convenience for use and safety. Mechanical Engineering deems it fit for engineers to build objects from small gadgets too giant machine tools.
