The Founder Of Mechanical Engineering.

– JAMES WATT (1736–1819.)James Watt, the eminent Scot and great scientist,

who so improved the imperfect steam engine of his day that he may be termed the Father of the Steam Age and the Founder of Mechanical Engineering, was born at Greenock on January 19th in the year 1736. The two-hundredth anniversary of his birth has therefore passed by a few weeks Before

What is Mechanical Engineering?

Mechanical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with forces and

motion. It includes designing, analyzing,

developing, and maintaining mechanical

systems.

Mechanical Engineering Is…

• Finding creative solutions to difficult problems!

• Perhaps the broadest of all the engineering disciplines.

• Working with motion, energy, forces, and materials.

• Concerned with analysis, design, manufacture and operation of areas such as: – Energy Defense– Environment Health & Bio– Manufacturing Transportation

• Almost every industry needs mechanical engineers.

• The curriculum is sufficiently broad so students can take various career paths upon graduation.

• You might find the subject both exciting and challenging.

Why Mechanical Engineering?

“Scientists discover the world that exists; engineers create the world that never was.”

-Theodore Von Karman

• Design– Product Design– Machine Design– System Design

• Manufacturing, Process Development & Quality

• Maintenance and Operations• Research and Development• Project Management• Testing• Sales or Technical Sales• Management

What type of jobs do ME’s have?

• Fabrication– Coordinate fabrication of equipment – Develop improved fabrication techniques and methods

• Testing– Test quality, performance, safety, and reliability of products,

equipment, processes• Research and Development• Sales

– Work as technical salespersons for companies that manufacture various products and equipment

– Work as a general salesperson for companies• Maintenance and Operations

– Keep various plants and processes operating at optimum performance

– Operations supervision and management• Other

– Medical School, Law School, Business School, etc.– Management

What can Mechanical Engineers do?

Some Early uses of Mechanical Engineering

• Pumping water• Draining and ventilating

mines• Building structures• Designing scientific

instruments (telescope, microscope, etc.)

• WarfareEarly mechanical engineering was largely trial and error.

Mechanical EngineeringMajor Areas of Research

• Acoustics and Dynamics• Automation and Mechatronics• Bioengineering• Computer Aided Design• Fluid Mechanics• Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS)

Heat Transfer, Combustion and Energy Systems

• Manufacturing• Mechanics of Materials• Tribology• Nuclear Engineering

Aviation/ Travel• Moving people quickly and

efficiently • Mimimize congestion• More environmentally friendly• Some scientist speculate the

thought of traveling like the “jetsons” -teleportation

Conclusion Mechanical Engineers: The world does resolve around usWhen the Mechanical rest, the World rust2 years ago Logical, 1 year ago Digital, Forever its Mechanical
