Mechanical Engineering And Biomechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology defines Engineering as, “ the profession in which knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences gained by study, experience and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize, economically, the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind. “(ABET). An Engineer in my own words would be someone that is a problem solver and enjoys finding ways to improve imperfect designs. Examining closer at the specific discipline of Mechanical Engineering I have found the specific fields of study many Mech. Majors tend to go into. You can apply Mechanical Engineering to many different industries and it is seen as one of the more foundational

The exciting prospects of science fiction is starting to creep in to real life and the robotic man is on the near horizon. Blending Biomedical sciences with Mechanical Engineering gives new possibilities to prosthetics and improved mobility for amputees. Going further researchers are looking into tapping into the inner workings of the brain and even find ways to download memories. Mechanical Engineers are involved with research of these daring explorations dancing on the line of morality. They are inventing mechanical engines light enough and small enough to be carried around by a human being. The new findings in Nano-bots and how they could one day attack cancerous cells in our body is mind boggling, yet being tested as we speak. These new inventions are going to reshape the very fabricate of our society and change not only life expectancy but also morality itself. As we continue to bridge the gap between disciplines we will see a more efficient world. Mechanical Engineering is the foundation to so many Engineering programs and becoming an expert in the fundamental topics in the major will set you up for numerous areas of

My love of aviation started at a young age, and at 16 I flew a glider by myself for the first time. A glider is very interesting in that it has no engine and relies on the basic fundamentals of aerodynamics to return it safely to the ground. This was one of the first type of fixed wing aircraft that was invented and has been refined over the decades. The best part of Aeronautics is that you now have to refer to the discipline as Aerospace Engineering because of the amazing advances in reaching the stars. NASA has gone away from the spot light in the recent generation, but private industry has come to take it’s place; including Space X, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin to name a few. From satellites to space aircraft the venture to space is only going to expand, and when the major breakthrough in propulsion comes, the sky is the limit. Aeronautical Engineering is the newest area of Engineering starting in just the 19th century. This new field is only going to grow expanding the horizon and merging other Engineering disciplines to create more efficient flying
