Mechanical engineering is a classic field of technical activity and research in the field of engineering. Main areas of mechanical engineering:
- Aviation and rocket-space technology
- Metallurgy
- Sectoral mechanical engineering
- applied mechanics
- Shipbuilding.
Aviation engineering, due to the scale of the aircraft industry, the use of electronic technology, has emerged as a separate area of engineering. Research directions:
- Aircraft construction
- Air navigation
- Ballistics and aerodynamics
- Integrated aircraft systems
- Aircraft testing
- Aircraft and helicopter construction
- Aircraft control systems.
At the junction of mechanical and electronic engineering, a new engineering industry has emerged - mechatronics. Scientists and technologists create equipment, systems, where mechanical and electronic components work together as parts of one organism, further enhanced by software.
Industrial engineering (industrial engineering) - engineering science, which arose at the junction of several sciences: mathematics, mechanics, social sciences, physics, economics.
The subject of industrial engineering research is integrated systems, including:
- Knowledge
- Information
- Materials (edit)
- Equipment
- Manufacturing processes
- Energy.
Specialists in this field are involved in the control and development of systems, taking care of the continuous growth of productivity and product quality.
Areas of specialization:
- Engineering management
- Operations research
- Mechanical engineering
- Systems engineering
- Construction engineering
- Financial engineering
- Ergonomics.
The rating "The Best Universities for the Study of Mechanical, Aeronautical and Industrial Engineering in Europe" was created as a result of a detailed analysis of the quality of education at European universities for future applicants.
