Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) - Roorkee

"Mechanical engineering" course is one of the oldest and the second largest engineering discipline and applies the principles of mechanics and energy to the design of machines and devices. Mechanical engineers are involved with the design of structures; operation and maintenance of mechanical systems such as: automobiles, trucks, airplanes, and trains for transportation; tractors for food production; interplanetary space vehicles; copying machines; fax machines; staplers and mechanical pencils used in the office and lathes, milling machines, grinders, and drill presses used in the manufacture of goods. Mechanical engineers also design and operate power plants and are concerned with the economical combustion of fuels, the conversion of heat energy into mechanical energy, and the use of the mechanical energy to perform useful work.

This course unfolds vast employment opportunities in the following sectors: manufacturing, fabrication, research and development, service industries, Railway Engineering, Aerospace, Automobile Industry, Power plants, Manufacturing Industries and so on.
