What Is Mechanical Engineering?

Image
  Technically,  mechanical engineering  is the application of the principles and problem-solving techniques of engineering from design to manufacturing to the marketplace for any object. Mechanical engineers analyze their work using the principles of motion, energy, and force—ensuring that designs function safely, efficiently, and reliably, all at a competitive cost. Mechanical engineers make a difference. That's because mechanical engineering careers center on creating technologies to meet human needs. Virtually every product or service in modern life has probably been touched in some way by a mechanical engineer to help humankind. This includes solving today's problems and creating future solutions in health care, energy, transportation, world hunger, space exploration, climate change, and more. Being ingrained in many challenges and innovations across many fields means a mechanical engineering education is versatile. To meet this broad demand, mechanical engineers may ...

Will AI end or enhance a career in engineering?

Image
With the mainstream media filled with AI-fuelled apocalyptic scenarios for the world of work, Nick Smith asks the experts if AI really is harmful to the engineer’s career prospects? When the legendary American computer scientist Claude Shannon predicted a future in which “we will be to robots as dogs are to humans” the sci-fi nightmare of the rise of the robots inched closer to reality and into the realm of public debate. “I’m on the side of the machines”, he added, and since then the mainstream media has mostly followed his lead.  Newspaper speculation over what the balance of the AI master-servant relationship will look like has become a daily event. Engineers will be familiar with the doom-laden newspaper headlines – and these are real – such as ‘March of the machines makes idle hands’, ‘Growing technologies: shrinking jobs’, and ‘Is this the start of the great AI jobs bloodbath?’ Elon Musk stated at VivaTech 2024 in Paris that he saw a future in which ‘none of us will have a jo...
