#001 Apa itu Mechanical Engineering?

Mechanical Engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines, encompassing engineering on all types of mechanical devices, so there are several specialty fields of Mechanical Engineering such as robotics, thermodynamics, nanotechnology and manufacturing. Let us see one by one;

Robotics

Robotics centers on researching and creating machines and devices for mechanical equipment that operates independent of direct human control. Therefore, more experience and education are especially important in robotics because an engineer must understand the environment in which the robotic machine will operate. Robotics engineer works in many different field such as mining, defense, manufacturing and automotive.

Thermodynamics

For those who involve in thermodynamics field, they will involve in the study of energy and research on the different systems and how to transform them. Those engineers work in designing nuclear and solar power plant, refrigerator, air conditioner, propulsion system and so on.

Next,we come into the most popular field in mechanical engineering nowadays.

Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology Engineers research atoms and molecules to develop new machines and technology smaller than 100 nanometers. Sounds great right? As for me, i cant imagine how they reduce the size of an object into a nano size. for those who are interested in this field, the nanotechnology engineers help in designing medicine, robotics, computer technology, algriculture and so on.

Last but not least, here come the Manufacturing Engineer.

Manufacturing

This field is the broadest among the other specialized field as there are numerous manufacturing factory outside there. Manufacturing Engineer work in manufacturing oversee the daily operations of a plant. Their main responsibility is finding the most efficient way to convert raw materials into consumer goods. Mechanical Engineer in this field help in producing the product such as car, airplane, electronics and so on.
