Employment Opportunities

Mechanical Engineering which is one of the oldest and most extensive areas of Engineering activities deals with machinery,energy and manufacturing-production methods. Mechanical Engineers design and fabricate machines and equipment for all the branches in the industry as well as machine tools. For example, turbines, printing presses, earth-moving machines,food processors, air conditioning and refrigeration systems, artificial hearts and limbs, aircraft, diesel locomotives, passenger cars, trucks and engines for vehicles of mass transportation, etc. With their expertise in the field of energy they deal with the design,manufacture and operation of hydraulic turbines which will drive electrical generators and boilers to create steam power,engines, turbines and pumps, They design and operate power plants, they deal with economic combustion of the fuels,turning heat energy into mechanical force and use this power in optimum circumstances. In the field of heating, ventilation and air conditioning mechanical engineers provide controlled temperature and humidity conditions in houses, offices, commercial buildings and industrial facilities. They develop equipment and systems for keeping nutrients in the cold, cold storage and ice manufacturing plants Mechanical Engineers also works in the design of machines for passenger,cargo and warships , design and manufacture of cars, trucks and buses in the automotive industry and also in design of new aircraft and spacecraft in air-space industry.
