Draft:Outline of mechanical engineering
Appearance
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to mechanical engineering:
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.
