Mechanical engineering is the study of physical machines that may involve force and movement. It is an engineering branch that combines engineering physics and mathematics principles with materials science, to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering branches.

Duration: Typically a four-year undergraduate program.

Curriculum: The curriculum covers a wide range of subjects related to mechanical engineering principles, including mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, manufacturing processes, control systems, and design engineering.

Core Subjects:

• Mathematics: Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Probability & Statistics.
