Mechanical Engineering can be historically traced back to ancient Greece and China, where mechanisms such as screw pumps, steam engines were invented (Mechanical, 2014). Armed with Newton’s Laws of Motion and calculus mechanical engineers have contributed countless innovations to the success of humanity throughout history.
Scientific research and development and the business of manufacturing are some key undertakings practiced by Mechanical Engineers. Mechanical engineers work in teams and are responsible for the development of an extensive diversity of products and systems including, for instance, the space shuttle, aircraft carriers, submarines, jet turbines, pumps, and power plants. In fact all aspects of our national defense utilize and depend on mechanical engineering. Practically any machine you can think of has benefited from the hard work and innovations of a mechanical
