Considered to be the most diverse amongst the engineering fields, Mechanical Engineering (ME) embraces areas such as:

This branch primarily deals with areas such as:

• Automotive systems
• Combustion engineering
• Fluid mechanics
• Heat transfer
• Control of dynamic systems
• Design of mechanical systems
• Manufacturing processes and systems
• Tribology
• Materials behavior and processing

Mechanical Engineers design materials, machines and other sub-systems to perform an intended function. They broadly deal with issues related to energy conversion, interfacing mechanical components with other sub-systems, interfacing man and machine, and the control of the different sub-systems

Career Prospect

Mechanical Engineering is one of the most versatile disciplines, offering a large number of great career options. Depending on one’s specialization and interest, one can get into core manufacturing related jobs, thermodynamics related jobs or structural related jobs. PSUs such as NTPC, ONGC, HPCL, IOCL, CIL, NALCO, etc. offer huge opportunities for qualified MEs. The opportunities in the private sector are just as good.

On completion of the degree, candidates can work as:

• Auto research engineers
• Architectural and Engineering Managers
• Drafters
• Heating and cooling system engineers
• Mathematicians and Statisticians
• Natural Science Managers
• Nuclear Engineers
• Petroleum Engineers
• Material Engineers
• Sales Engineers
• Physicists and Astronomers
• Robotic engineers
