Mechanical engineering, one of the oldest and broadest fields of engineering activities, deals with machinery, energy and manufacturing-production methods. Mechanical engineers design and manufacture machines and equipment for all branches of industry as well as machine tools. For example; engines for turbines, printing presses, earthmoving machinery, food processors, air conditioning and cooling systems, artificial hearts and limbs, airplanes, diesel locomotives, automobiles, trucks and mass transportation vehicles. In the field of energy expertise, mechanical engineers are concerned with the design, manufacture and operation of hydraulic turbines to drive electric generators and boilers, engines, turbines and pumps to generate steam power. They design and operate power plants and deal with the economical combustion of fuels, the conversion of heat energy into mechanical power and the use of that power to do useful work. In the field of heating, ventilation and air conditioning, mechanical engineers provide controlled temperature and humidity conditions in homes, businesses, commercial buildings and industrial facilities. They develop necessary equipment and systems for keeping food cold, cold storage and ice production facilities. Mechanical engineers also work in the design of machinery for passenger, combat and cargo ships, the design and manufacture of cars, trucks and buses in the automotive industry, and the design of new aircraft and spacecraft in the aerospace industry.
