MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Mechanical Engineering involves the design & development of machinery, ranging from simple mechanisms to more complex machines. The process includes the planning and designing of these structures, as well as operating and maintaining them. Mechanical Engineers use an understanding of core concepts such as kinetics and thermodynamics (application of heat and mechanical power) to create and analyse a wide variety of machines and processes.
