Mechanical engineering involves
the application of laws and principles of Physics to analyze, design,
manufacture, and maintain the mechanical systems. A mechanical engineer have
the knowledge of the key concepts including mechanics, thermodynamics, kinematics and energy. He may work in varied
fields which use mechanical systems including aircraft, automobiles, heating
& cooling systems, industrial equipment, manufacturing plants, and
machinery, medical devices and more.
A mechanical engineer do
research, develop, design and test tools, engines, machines, and other
mechanical devices. He works on power-producing machines such as electric
generators, internal combustion engines, and steam and gas turbines as well as
power-using machines such as machine tools, refrigeration and air-conditioning
equipment, material handling systems, elevators and escalators, industrial
production equipment and robots used in manufacturing. A mechanical engineer may
work in production operations in agriculture or manufacturing, maintenance, or
technical sales; many are also absorbed as administrators or managers.
Eligibility
The basic eligibility criteria is
10+2 (with Physics, Chemistry and Maths). There are many BE/BTech program in
mechanical engineering of four years duration. The selection is generally made
on the basis of entrance tests (e.g. IITJEE, AIEEE, BITSAT etc.) conducted at
both national and state level.
One can also pursue Diploma
program after completion of his/her class 10th. In this case he/she will only
be recognized with the status of a junior engineer.
Career Prospects
Mechanical engineers have job
opportunities in various public and private sector companies including the
automobiles, steel plants, chemical, electronics, oil exploration and refining,
technical wings of armed forces, space research organization and many more
fields.
Government sector have positions like
Junior Engineers, Assistant Engineers, Assistant Executive Engineers, Executive
Engineers, and Superintendent Engineers and so on.
Institutes/Universities
BE/BTech course in Mechanical
engineering is offered by almost all engineering colleges/technological
universities including the IITs and NITs. Most of the state universities and
private Btech colleges offer mechanical engineering branch.
This career is simply one of the best. Almost all countries mechanical engineering is in demand specially on industrial countries.

ReplyDeleteThis post is very helpful as it talks about mechanical engineering and its job prospects. I would like to mention that CMR University, Banglore, offers B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering. The course is carefully designed to combine theoretical learning and practical applications. The curriculum includes concepts such as generative design, non-conservative energy and 3D print technology. Visit the website for further information of Mechanical Engineering Courses.
