Overview
Mechanical engineering is one of the largest, broadest, and oldest engineering disciplines.It includes design, manufacture, installation and operation of engines, machines, robotics, heating & cooling systems and manufacturing processes.
Mechanical Engineers could work in many industries including private or public sector industries of various types. They can seek employment in government departments like Posts and Telegraphs, Defense, PWD, and CPWD. Other departments such as aeronautical, agricultural, automobile, chemical, and power plants, as well as the railways, need mechanical engineers to design and maintain their machinery. Mechanical Engineers also mostly required in automobile, chemical, electronics, steel plants, oil exploration and refining, technical wings of armed forces, space research organisation, etc.
