information about the profession

 

Mechanical Engineering is a comprehensive branch of engineering in which the analysis, design, production, operation, management and maintenance and repair of all kinds of mechanical and energy conversion systems are carried out.

The first activities in the field of Mechanical Engineering are referred to as Archimed (287-212 BC) and became a separate profession with the production of machines and engines propelling them in England at the beginning of the 19th century.

Mechanical Engineering is an engineering discipline that is identified with technology, has the widest scope and working area and increases human comfort. The fact that most of the technological developments are based on studies in the field of mechanical engineering further increases the importance of mechanical engineering and expands its fields of study.

As a result,  other engineering branches such as industrial engineering, production and manufacturing engineering, textile engineering, naval architecture engineering, aeronautical and astronautical engineering, automotive engineering, installation engineering and nuclear power engineering have emerged from the branching in the field of general mechanical engineering.

A mechanical engineer is a person who knows the basic principles of mathematics and physics as well as basic engineering issues such as mechanics, thermodynamics and energy, and can use this knowledge effectively in the design, manufacture and analysis of mechanical systems and thermal systems, and takes into account the criteria of strength, economy, aesthetics and ergonomics.
