Mechanical engineering derives its importance from the need to design and manufacture everything from small individual parts and devices to large systems. A mechanical engineer needs to acquire particular skills and knowledge. The candidate needs to understand the forces and the thermal environment that a product, its parts or its subsystems will encounter; to design it for functionality, aesthetics and the ability to withstand the forces and the thermal environment it will be subjected to; Mechanical engineering is perhaps the broadest and most diverse of engineering disciplines. Mechanical Engineers play a central role in such industries as Automotive, Aerospace, Biotechnology; Computers and Electronics, Micro-electro-mechanical Systems, Energy-conversion, Environmental Control and Automation. Graduates from this discipline have career opportunities in global corporations and domestic companies, predominantly in the manufacturing sector.
