if cars are your passion & bikes your aggression & if you admire the moving gears or find engine very -very sexy, think yourself to be a born mechanical engineer. Remember if speed thrills you & moving shafts & cranks bloods up your nerves, get ready to do something ‘mechanical’ specifically get ready to become a ‘MECHNICAL ENGINEER’. mechanical is the most popular & important field of engineering required everywhere ranging from designing & developing automobiles to working in a thermal power plant; designing a simple mobile phone to making huge cranes; producing a bicycle or a thousand toned aircraft , its all mechanical. Mechanical is also termed as the most versatile branch because of its wide applications in every field. This field requires deep knowledge of subjects like thermodynamics, materials science, structural analysis, mechanics & kinematics. Apart from this a person must be interested in using designing softwares for computer-aided design (C.A.D.) and must have knowhow of product lifecycle management for designing manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery. Not only this, mechanical engineering finds its use in field of robotics as well. Heating and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, locomotives are also designed & analyzed by mechanical engineers. New technology branches like nanotechnology, mechatronics have also emerged with mechanical engineering as its core. Though the branch is favourite among students however girls usually prefer to stay away from it since it requires a masculine effort. Considering the importance of mechanical engineering as an important field in development as well as progress, a number of colleges & universities in India have specialized in mechanical engineering. A few of these are: 1. Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur 2. Indian Institute of Technology, KANPUR. 3. IIT Roorkee. 4. IIT Bombay 5. IIT Delhi
