Mechanical engineering is a very broad field that involves the application of physical principles for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. The process of mechanical engineering can be as simple as the design of a chair for comfort or as complex as the optimization of a turbocharged engine for speed. It can be as small as the cutting of a nano-sized gear or as large as the assembly of a supertanker used to carry oil around the world.

Modern analysis and design processes in mechanical engineering are aided by various computational tools including FEA, CFD, and CAD/CAM. Manufacturing can be accomplished with the aid of machines including robots, milling machines, CNCs and lathes.

Other disciplines that overlap with mechanical engineering in one or more areas include aerospace engineering, architectural engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, engineering physics, industrial engineering, nuclear engineering, systems engineering, and many other Fields of engineering.
