Mechanical engineering is a branch of engineering that designs, analyses, manufactures, and maintains mechanical systems by combining engineering physics and mathematics principles with materials science. It is one of the oldest and most diverse engineering disciplines.

Mechanical engineers must understand fundamental concepts such as mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics, materials science, structural analysis, and electricity. In addition to these fundamental principles, mechanical engineers use tools such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and product lifecycle management to design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment, machinery, heating and cooling systems, transportation systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices, weapons, and others. It is the branch of engineering concerned with the design, manufacture, and operation of machinery.

The comprehensive course curriculum and intensive practical training enable students to take on the challenges of broad-ranging roles in various departments across various industries.
