Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest and broadest disciplines in engineering. Graduates of mechanical engineering find career opportunities in a wide range of industries like power and energy, automation and manufacturing, aerospace and transportation, services and logistics, building and construction, healthcare and medical equipment.

Mechanical engineers work in technical and managerial positions in companies and as engineering consultants in both private and government sectors. The graduates are also in demand in areas of research and development as well as in engineering higher education.
