What are the various branches in the field of mechanical engineering?
544835
The major divisions of mechanical engineering are designs and controls, thermo-science and fluids, engineering mechanics, and manufacturing. Depending on the colleges and the universities, some mechanical engineering programs offer more specialized programs, such as mechatronics, robotics, transport and logistics, cryogenics, and biomechanics, if a separate department does not exist for these subjects

There is a fair selection between these websites\nGood luck\n\nhttp://www.library.fau.edu/depts/ref/rsguide/mechanical/content.htm\nhttp://www.intute.ac.uk/sciences/cgi-bin/browse.pl?id=170

As sophisticated as this question looks I doubt that any one will answer....\nSTATE AN ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT (i.e. Civil,architectural,mechanic, computer science)\n\nThere no such thing as a MULTI-PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER to answer your question...

There are many division in physics which division are you asking for?

Wonderful! You will have a lot of options. Mechatronics is the basis of robotics. Its where mechanical engg. and electronics fuse. This throws up a lot of avenues. Autonomous machines, vehicles, smart machines, nanotech, etc.

For which branch of engineering?  They're not all equal all across the board, you know.

Mechanical Engineering, in my opinion, is an excellent combination of civil, electrical, and chemical engineering while providing a background in mechanical principles. Plus, if you initially take mechanical engineering coursework and decide to change to another discipline, most of your courses can be transfered to another discipline depending how far along you are.

Mechantronics Engineering is the combination of electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.  I took a mechatronics class in college and it was pretty cool.  We designed and built robots that were programmed to hit hockey pucks through a goal.  Also for my senior design project we used our mechatronics knowledge to design an autonomous vaccum cleaner (early version of the Roomba).

The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering offers both a standard Mechanical Engineering curriculum leading to a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering, and an Aerospace or Biomechanics Option. The latter culminates with a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering and an Aerospace Certificate. Students who select the Aerospace option will be required to include in their departmental electives three courses related to aerospace. In addition, they take an aerospace lab in their senior year in lieu of one standard senior lab. \n\nThroughout the Mechanical Engineering curriculum, every effort is made to fulfil the department's educational objectives, namely:\n\n  To educate and train students in Mechanical Engineering in a technically sound, challenging and professional manner \n  To prepare students to enter careers ready to make positive contributions to their professions and society, or to continue on to successful graduate research and education \n  To inculcate in students the responsibilities and rewards associated with an engineering career and life-long service to the profession. \n\n\nRutgers has an Engineering Program that may suit you.

What interests you? Road and bridge building or electrical things such as radar signals, electronics, electric power generation, etc.?? To me that should direct you to the right field. How about Mechanical ? Mechanical Engineers have to learn a bit of everything - no specialization. Aeronautical Engineering is a specialized field that has gained a lot of interest. Ultimately, you will have to choose what you career goal is and go for it. Good luck.

Mechanical engineering is very wide field. \nJust to give you an Idea;-\n\nDesign a product say  hair pin. Mech engineer makes a drawin g  showing how it will look in three dimension. determine if it will function as intended,  send it into manufacturing  area where if there is any problem, then redesign so manufacring problem can be solved. he also deals materials, to determine if the material use will stand up in the  real life. Also he thinks of cost aspect to make it affordabls, and designs accordingly.\n\nDesigning a system. Let us say  AC system. Mech engr has to know what machine,how big or small, with what capacity,and feature will be required. Then me makes a layout to determine the proper arrangement of machine, ducts, outlets, etc and work with electrical engineer to make sure  that system will without  problems.\n\nThis very small part of engineering.You need to make calculations  to determine requirements.

I do not know in which country you live. Irrespective of that, Mechanica Engineering definitely have more scope in getting jobs in industries as well as in higher studies. Mechatronics is an inter-disciplinery subject and a good specilization for PhD. But for undergraduate or graduate studies, Mechanical is definitely the better option. \n\nIn undergraduate level in Mechanical Engg. you will be taught different branches of Mechanical Sciences: Fluidics, Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, Statics, Kinematics and Dynamics & Vibration of solid bodies and systems, Finite Element Analysis, Machining Science or Metal Cutting, Manufacturing Technology, Electrical Technology, Elementary Electronics, and many more. So when you go for higher studies you will have large number of fields to pursue the Masters. Further, you may get jobs in different positions in a large number of industries. What more do you want?\n\nRemember the axiom which I believe:\nNo large-scale industry can survive without Mechanical Engineers.  If you opt for Mechatronics then your scope of getting jobs become narrow.\n\nAlso, note that when you will apply for PhD then some one with a more general background as Mechanical Engg. will definitely be preferred over his competitor from Mechatronics. \n\nAs I am a final year student of Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering so I think I can give you the correct picture. I am from India. However, it would have been better had you mentioned your country.

There a few a sources for guidance for Projects in Mechanical engineering.\n\nMechanical engineering societies offer assistance to engineering students.\n\nIf you are in College, the guidance department will have a list of Alumni who provide the Free Guidance service.\n\nI have attached a reference site:\n\nhttp://www.murdough.ttu.edu/TBPE/StudentBrochure.pdf\n\nGood Luck and regards.
