Mechanical Engineering

"Mechanical Engineering embodies the motto “mens et manus” — thoughts and hand. Disciplinary depth and breadth, collectively with hands-on discovery and physical cognizance, characterize our nationally and internationally diagnosed leadership in studies, schooling, and innovation. MIT mechanical engineers have always stood at the leading edge in tackling the engineering challenges of the day: inventing new technology, spawning new fields of observe, and educating generations of leaders in enterprise, authorities, and academia. studies and Innovation these days, mechanical engineering is one of the broadest and most versatile of the engineering professions. that is meditated in the portfolio of contemporary research and education activities inside the branch, one that has widened unexpectedly in the beyond decade. Our school and students are worried in projects that intention to deliver engineering answers to a spectrum of global challenges, together with the development and design of: • smooth and renewable electricity technology, together with studies in photovoltaics, wind power, fuel cells, thermoelectrics, and carbon capture • New thermal and membrane technologies required for water purification and desalination • Instrumentation, controls, and other technology required for medical therapies and biomedical exploration • vehicles, acoustics, and control structures for underwater exploration and environmental monitoring • established materials and advanced technologies for protection and security of our first responders and squaddies • Precision gadgets, machines, and robotics to meet these challenges, research within the department is coordinated throughout seven collaborative disciplinary thrust regions: • Mechanics • layout, manufacturing, & Product development • Controls, Instrumentation & Robotics • energy science & Engineering • Ocean science & Engineering • Bioengineering • Micro and Nano Engineering"
