Mechanical engineering uses physical laws to analyze, design, manufacture and maintain mechanical systems, which requires students to have a solid understanding of basic scientific principles such as applied mechanics, heat, conservation of matter and energy, and use these knowledge to analyze static and dynamic material systems and create and design practical devices, equipment, devices and tools. Knowledge of mechanical engineering can be applied to automobiles, airplanes, buildings, bridges, industrial instruments and machines.
Professional research direction is divided into: energy, materials, manufacturing, control, acoustics, optics, etc.
Generally, the major of mechanical engineering is under the school of engineering, and there is an independent department. Some schools will be put together with the major of manufacturing or aerospace.
Common specialized courses: statics, dynamics, engineering drawing, mechanical design basis, computer modeling, mechanical vibration, solid mechanics, energy system, mechanical system, fluid mechanics, automatic control thermodynamics, material science and mechanical manufacturing system, heat conduction, etc.
From the perspective of professional orientation, mechanical engineers are distributed in industrial enterprises, businesses, governments, universities and other fields, serving scientific research, design, development, testing, production, operation, marketing, sales and management, covering a wide range. It is worth mentioning that the current mechanical technology is mostly based on computer applications, and mastering a certain degree of programming software technology is in line with the trend of modern mechanical development.
Key points of application
The first is the consideration of professional background. My application requires the applicant to have a good engineering background, especially excellent results in mathematics and physics, and good practical ability, including the operation of experimental instruments and the skilled use of commonly used computer software. Academic background is often one of the most important factors in the application of science and engineering majors. Only by having an academic background consistent with the target major can we highlight our advantages in the application and lay a solid foundation for our future professional study. After defining your academic direction, you need to determine the grade of the school you are applying for. Generally speaking, masters pay more attention to GT scores, while doctors pay more attention to scientific research experience. Therefore, the application for a doctor will be more difficult than that for a master's degree, and of course the chances of winning the prize will be higher than that for a master's degree. Therefore, applicants must combine their own background and reasonably choose the school grade.
