Mechanical Engineering
• Mechanical engineering is the second largest and one of the oldest disciplines; broadest of all engineering disciplines.
• Mechanical engineers apply the principles of mechanics and energy to the design of machines and devices.
• Mechanical engineers in general are problem solvers
• Mechanical engineers design things that have real world applications
• Mechanical engineers have designed many products and structures that we use in our daily lives
• Mechanical engineers look for practical applications for things scientists and others discover
History • For there to be a mechanical engineer a
machine must be made.• The hand axe was the first machine built thus
the creator of the hand axe was the first Mechanical Engineer.

Analytical Engineer
• Supervise production in factories and elsewhere.
• Determine the causes of a process failure.• Test output to maintain quality. • They also estimate the time and cost required
to complete projects. (cost effective analysis)
