Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineers design, analyze, and improve mechanical systems across industries
like automotive, aerospace, energy, and manufacturing. They apply expertise in physics,
mathematics, and materials science, using CAD software and simulations to optimize
designs for functionality and efficiency. Involved in every product stage from design
to maintenance, they collaborate with teams to address challenges in mechanics, thermodynamics,
and fluid dynamics, aiming to create safer, sustainable, and advanced products.
