Opting for a career after 12th seems a tough task not just for the parents but for the student too. Engineering is one of the most prominent career choices that students opt for, and today has proven to provide ample opportunities. One such promising branch of engineering is Mechanical Engineering.

Mechanical engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with designing, analyzing, manufacturing, and maintaining mechanical systems. The subject primarily deals with mathematics combined with engineering physics. It is one of the oldest concepts in engineering and perhaps has a broad range of applications. 

Scope of Mechanical Engineering

The scope of engineering today has skyrocketed with the technological advancements and rise in usage of the internet. Mechanical engineers today are working in renowned companies and creating remarkable mechanical systems. There are multiple fields of mechanical engineering, that includes automobile engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, and mechatronics engineering. 

Aerospace Engineering is concerned with the building of aircraft and spacecraft. The field is conclusive of aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. 

Mechanical Engineering refers to the development, manufacturing, analysis, and maintenance of mechanical systems. 

Automobile Engineering refers to the development and manufacturing of automobiles or vehicles. 

Mechatronics Engineering is the subfield of mechanical engineering that includes or combines, mechanical engineering, electrical, communication, and computer engineering.

Such a broad field offers various job opportunities and some of these opportunities are:

• Testing Engineer
• Industrial Engineer
• Construction Engineer
• Project Manager
• Engineer in Design

Some of the best-recruiting companies in the domain of mechanical engineering are:

• BHEL
• COAL India
• NTPC
• TATA Group
• HPCL
• Ashok Leyland
• Larsen and Toubro
• Kirloskar

Although during the pandemic, job prospects around the world were hampered but not in the field of engineering. Mechanical engineering from the top engineering colleges opens the door to a variety of private job opportunities. This field is not just broad in terms of a variety of subjects but also has its roots in government jobs namely in the companies such as DRDO, HPCL, BHEL, GAIL, NHPC, and ISRO.
