Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest branches of engineering.

It is also referred to as the ‘mother’ branch of engineering.

Another appealing feature of mechanical engineering is that the application
base of this field of study is extremely broad and diverse.

Almost all inventions during the ancient period and a vast majority in the
modern era are direct contributions of one or the other application of
mechanics.

Since mechanical engineering is the broadest of all engineering fields, the
job prospects on offer for skilled mechanical engineers are aplenty and
unending.

Mechanical engineers are required to design, test, manufacture, install,
operate and maintain a wide array of machines and mechanical systems that
are used in countless industries.

These professionals can find employment both in the government and private sector undertakings.

Demand:

There is great demand for skilled mechanical engineers in different segments of the industry.
Their expertise is required in traditional manufacturing industries such as automobiles, aviation, shipping, aerospace, power plants and machinery manufacturing.
In recent times, the services of expert mechanical engineers have even been sought in fields such as nanotechnology, biomedical engineering, energy conservation and environmental engineering.

There is also great requirement for mechanical engineer consultants who have management skills along with technical proficiency.
The primary role of such professionals is to manage both technology and people and firms that provide engineering consultancy require them.

Various engineering colleges and polytechnics across the country are doing their best to meet the burgeoning demand of skilled mechanical engineering professionals.
