Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest and
broadest engineering disciplines. It applies the principles
of physics and material science for analysis, design,
manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems.
Mechanical engineers use the core concepts of
engineering like mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics,
material science and structural analysis along with the
tools like computer aided engineering and product life
cycle management to design and analyze manufacturing
plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating
and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft,
watercraft, robotics, medical devices and more.

SCOPE:
 Mechanical Engineers are required in all manufacturing facilities. The working
criteria of a mechanical engineer changes according to the type and domain of the
company they are working with and the area of specialization. In a broader sense
it can be said that mechanical engineer works on design and control of a system
that goes into the process of manufacturing the machinery and product. He tests
new systems for feasibility and efficiency and carries out quality management
and improvement process.
There is tremendous scope for mechanical engineers in automobile engineering,
cement industry, steel, power sector, hydraulics, manufacturing plants, drilling
and mining industry, petroleum, aeronautical, biotechnology and many more.
Nowadays they are also increasingly needed in the environmental and biomedical fields.
A beginner in Mechanical Engineering can opt for various job openings such as:
Maintenance Engineer, safety Engineer, Quality Assurance, CNC Programmer, Jr.
Engineer, Design Engineer, CAD/CAM Trainer, Production Supervisor/Engineer,
R&D Trainee etc

REMUNERATION
Remuneration for a mechanical engineer is dependent
upon the type of organization he is working in. Small and
medium scale companies hire mechanical engineers starting
from 15000 to
20000 per month. Large companies and
MNCs give a starting package of
15000 to
35000 per
month for fresh graduates.
From here on the annual pay packet depends on a number
of factors such as the skill set possessed, experience,
expertise, the employer, nature of roles and responsibilities,
etc. Highly skilled mechanical engineers can easily
