Engineering Branches and the Future

Major Engineering Branches & the Future


Mechanical Engineering definition: Is one of the oldest branches of Engineering that applies materials science principles, physics principles and engineering for the design, analysis (via Computer-Aided Design) and the construction of motion and power generation systems.

Additionally, the design of systems that do not include or transfer power is also a subject of mechanical engineering when these systems are subjected to high pressure and / or high temperature.
