с английским ! Mechanical engineering is a branch of engineering that applies the
principles of physics and materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design, production,
and operation of machines and tools. It is one of the oldest and broadest
engineering disciplines.
Mechanical engineering appeared as a field during the industrial revolution in Europe in the 18th century. However, its development can be
traced back several thousand years around the world. As science, mechanical engineering appeared in the 19th century as a result of developments in the field of physics. Mechanical engineering overlaps with
aerospace engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, petroleum engineering, and chemical engineering.
Mechanical engineers use these core principles and tools like computer-aided engineering to design and analyze electric generators, internal combustion engines, turbines, refrigeration and air-conditioning
equipment, machine-tools and other machinery.
The mechanical engineer is the jack-of-all trades among engineering
professions. This is because the profession requires education and skills
that span a broad range of technical, social, environmental, and economic problems. In general, however, the mechanical engineer is concerned
with controlling the principles of motion, energy, and force through mechanical solutions.
Mechanical engineers are constantly being asked to make decisions.
They must decide the size, shape, and material of every part of every
mechanical product that is created. They also have to determine the best
and most efficient ways to manufacture the products. Often those decisions are made in co-operation with other types of engineers. Some of
the decisions they make can mean the difference between life and death:
the safety features of automobiles, for example, are the responsibility of
mechanical engineers.
Practically every company that designs and produces a product employs a mechanical engineer. But mechanical engineers can also be
found in research labs, the military, government, and in other professions
such as medicine, or teaching.
Engineers must combine a good understanding of science, mathematics, and computers with a good knowledge of current technology. In addition to the sciences and math, engineers need good communication
skills. Besides, a second language can be extremely valuable because
many large industrial firms that employ mechanical engineers are multinational.
At the university level, mechanical engineering students learn advanced mathematics, chemistry, and physics. After some of these core
courses, mechanical engineering students take specialized courses in fluid mechanics, materials science, robotics, manufacturing processes,
thermodynamics, environmental sciences.
After starting coursework in mechanical engineering, it is useful to
have a summer engineering job. It helps you learn the "real world" of
engineering and offers an opportunity to apply all the theories and principles taught in class. Besides, it can also help you determine your professional likes and dislikes, your strengths and weaknesses.
Mechanical engineers often continue their education throughout their
careers, because technology changes rapidly. Many of the skills a student
learned at the university will become out of date after only a few years.
