What a Mech. Engineer Does • Mechanical Engineering is an engineering discipline that involves the application of principles of physics for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. • Mechanical engineers design and build engines and power plants......structures and vehicles of all sizes... • It requires a solid understanding of core concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics and energy. Mechanical engineers use the core principles as well as other knowledge in the field to design and analyze motor vehicles, aircraft, heating and cooling systems, watercraft, manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, robotics, medical devices and more. • http://www.me.mtu.edu/admin/whatme.html What a Mech Eng Does
