2. What is Mechanical Engineering?
Mechanical Engineering is the profession related to the study and use of machines.
Machines range from automobiles to the human body
Machines require power (thermodynamics, combustion)
Machines pollute (air pollution control)
Machines move, so their motion must be understood, both by itself (kinematics) and in the surrounding air (fluids)
Machines must be constructed (manufacturing)
Machines have to be made from something (materials)
Machines make heat that has to be removed (heat transfer and fluid mechanics)
