What is Mechanical Engineering?

There are many nuances of a Career in Mechanical Engineering. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find information about What Mechanical Engineering actually is. Most pages on the internet just talk about How to get into Mechanical Engineering. Just like you would normally not trust a non Doctor with names of medicines, you should also not trust opinions about Mechanical Engineering from non professionals.

Director Vidhu Gairola invested 49 years in Mechanical Engineering. Director Vidhu Gairola defines Mechanical Engineering as:

Mechanical engineering is a diverse subject that derives its breadth from the need to design and manufacture everything from small individual parts and devices (e.g., microscale sensors and inkjet printer nozzles) to large systems (e.g., spacecraft and machine tools). It works on the principle of physics and material sciences. It is used for analysis, design, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems. It involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for design, production and operations of machines and tools.

How Director Vidhu Gairola got into Mechanical Engineering?

I have 40+ years of experience in rotating equipment and I have participated in selection of pumps for Alaskan Pipeline Project. I have also provided a working solution to the Central Coolant Filtration System at General Motors, which had been a major obstacle in keeping the system operating optimally.

15)	Application in day to day life
16)	Key to development of society

There are a few Challenges in Mechanical Engineering which one needs to be cognizant of:
17)	Theory VS Practice
18)	Inadequate Education
19)	Lack of Recognition
20)	Blindly following old practices

In the final section of the Talk, Vidhu Gairola talks about How a day goes in a Career in:
