Mechanical Engineering has surely made its way into our day-to-day lives and has been influencing us in some or the other ways. All the branches related to mechanical engineering strive to utilize force, energy and motion to produce gadgets and machines that make our lives smoother. So, if you are still not aware how, think about this, every time you switch off your light, ride a bus, car or train, while crossing a bridge and several other routine activities that you do, come under the discipline of mechanical engineering.Diverse Realms of Mechanical Engineering- Just like every other engineering field, mechanical engineering also has several subfields where people can focus and explore their skills. The students are subjected to numerous sub-specialties that they utilize practically so as to make our existence more productive and meaningful. Mechanical Engineering expands over some of the following disciplines:� Kinematics- This field involves the study of motion of bodies and systems of bodies. The pistons of cars, cranes used for lifting heavy loads are a result of principle of kinematics.� Robotics- This includes the assimilation of engineering disciplines such as electrical engineering and software engineering along with mechanical engineering. The ever-evolving robots that we witness are developed to help man in varied occupations such as assembling a car. � Structural Analysis- This is a subject shared by the students of mechanical as well as civil engineering and this focuses on why the objects fail to perform. They give the reason as for why the structure break or why they didn't function as they were supposed to designed.� Mechanics- This discipline involves the study of forces and their effects on things. This also includes analysis and forecast of how several objects will react to different conditions they are subjected to. This too has various sub-disciplines such as static, dynamics, fluid mechanics, mechanics of materials, and continuum mechanics.� Thermodynamics- Again thermodynamics is studied by various other candidates indulged in engineering. This deals with the energy quotient (energy applied, evolved etc) for construction of power plants, ventilations, refrigeration, radiators etc and all that includes the phenomenon of transformation of energy from one form to other.Mechanical engineering is an arena that will never stop exploring avenues to find answers for questions that can lead to ease in our daily lifestyle. This ensures that our future is going to be more advanced and obviously full of luxurious inventions. The scientists across the countries are crossing boundaries and putting their minds together to the ultimate limits so as to produce new mechanical systems that are safer, cost effective and obviously more efficient. Computer-aided drafting and designing of more authentic and accurate models of assembly parts and machine parts are adding to the technology each day. This very field of engineering dreams big to make impact on each and every life in the world.
