Fundamental cases of mechanical engineering include: dynamics, statics, strength of materials, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, control theory, pneumatics, hydraulics, mechatronics, kinematics, and applied thermodynamics. Mechanical engineers come too required to read & exist as suspire to use conception from either a chemistry & electrical engineering fields. At a little scales, mechanical engineering becomes molecular engineering - one speculative goal of which is to produce the molecular assembler to build molecules and materials via mechanosynthesis. For okay, this goal remains inside exploratory engineering, and a select few assume it science fiction.

Related disciplines include; electrical engineering, industrial engineering, systems engineering, civil engineering, nuclear engineering, aerospace engineering, and more engineering disciplines.
