A Career in Mechanical Engineering:
What is Mechanical Engineering?
Mechanical Engineering is the broadest of all engineering disciplines, encompassing areas such as energy, fluid mechanics, dynamics, combustion, vibration, design, manufacturing processes, systems modeling and simulation, mechatronics, robotics, mechanics of material, rapid prototyping and composites.
Mechanical Engineering involves designing, development, production and use of mechanical tools to solve mechanical issues.  Generally hired by manufacturing industries, these engineers have employment opportunity in both private and public sectors. Government sectors like Defence, PWD, Post and Telegraphs, and CPWD also hire these engineers. They also have equal opportunities outside India.
