Mechanical Engineering is one of the broadest engineering fields. Mechanical engineers are found in virtually all productive industries, from aircraft and automotive to consumer products and building equipment. They design products, machines, and processes for manufacturing. They analyze, test, and develop these products, machines, and manufacturing processes to attain the best performance and durability within cost and time limits.
