Since the start of my academic career at Kettering I have always been pressured into always thinking of the right design and always coming to a specific answer. Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer allowed me to take some of that pressure off and digress my thoughts and ideas towards asking the right questions to come to a conclusion.”

What is Mechanical Engineering?
Mechanical engineering is the study of physical machines that may involve force and movement. It is an engineering branch that combines engineering physics, mathematics principles, computer modeling and analysis, and material science to design, analyze, manufacture, and to maintain multi-disciplinary engineering systems.
Mechanical Engineering is the oldest and broadest of engineering disciplines. In short, it includes the design of machines that move and have motion, and the conversion of energy to do work. Learn more here.
Important Terms in Mechanical Engineering
Thermodynamics is the conversion of energy into useful power and focuses on the efficiency of this process.
Fluid Mechanics, at the undergraduate level, is concerned with the behavior of liquids and gases at rest or in motion; including pressure drops from fluid flow and aerodynamic drag forces.
Heat Transfer, at the undergraduate level, is the discipline within Thermal Fluid Systems that governs the time rate of change of the energy transfer process and defines the thermal mechanisms that cause the process state change within Thermodynamics.
Engineering in general is applied sciences for the benefit of mankind to ensure survivability for future generations.
