What is Mechanical Engineering?

    Mechanical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the creation and operation of objects and machines. It is the broadest of all engineering fields, and is the engineering "jack-of-all-trades." Mechanical engineers use principles such as thermodynamics, kinematics, and dynamics, and the conservations of mass and energy to analyze static and dynamic physical systems, in contributing to the design of things such as automobiles, robots, heating and cooling systems, household appliances, industrial equipment and machinery, weapons systems, and almost anything else you could think of!
