Mechanical engineers do whatever their superior, routinely an electrical engineer, tell them to do.
Hope this helps.
Mechanical engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of physics and materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design, production, and operation of machines and tools.
In construction, they work on HVAC and plumbing mostly. They use thermodynamics and fluids and calculus to figure out how to get the proper amount of cold/hot air and water throughout buildings. This includes looking into different hp and size motors and pumps, etc. They design and redesign HVAC and plumbing systems. Lots of AutoCAD and Revit work. You should also know your stuff in terms of materials. You will learn most of this Freshman-Sophmore year.
In design, they design mechanical components that go into machines. This could be springs, screws and bolts, brackets, mounts, gears, washers, and more. They do not get to design the "looks" of anything. That is up to the Industrial Designers and/or Product Designers. You would learn most of this in Senior Year.
In Manufacturing, they work in maintenance improving reliability of machines. Or they find and fix quality issues in products. They also write work instructions for the assemblers to follow when building products or maintaining machines. They could also work in process improvement or small budget project management. They would keep track of what is being made and keep a database on various types of information. You will learn most of this in Junior-Senior year.
Mechanical engineer concern with machine i.e lathe machine and for theory point of veiw subject like thermodynamics are included more over you will know about engines
Great choice...
Engineer means to design...
You should have the sense of designing to become an engineer
engineer mechanical things.
structures designs, power plants, engines, machines, manufacturing, and thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, etc.
Mostly about machines, cars and many more.
Google is your friend.
I am interested in becoming a mechanical engineer, but i want to know what they mostly do.
