The History of Mechanical Engineering

Engineering is a science which deals with design, construction and operation of structures, machines, engines and other devices used in industry and everyday life. The term “engineering” is a modern one. However the art of building houses, palaces, pyramids and other structures was known as far back as many thousands years ago. Now we call it “civil engineering”. As time went on the art of civil engineering was enriched with new achievements of science and technology. With the invention of the steam engine and the growth of factories a number of civil engineers became interested in the practical application of the science of mechanics and thermodynamics to the design of machines. Mechanical engineering has been recognized as a separate branch of engineering since the formation of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers of Great Britain in 1847.

The development of the textile machinery, turbines, machine tools, pumping machinery and locomotives of that time made such a diversity interest. Mechanical engineering deals with machines and devices of all kinds and with research and science upon which they depend. Among these machines are prime movers such as engines and turbines using air, gas, steam and water as operating media; pumping machines and other hydraulic apparatus; steam boilers, heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigerating equipment, transportation structures used in aviation; automotive engineering, railroads and ships, machine tools, special machines for industry and for construction of buildings, railroads and harbors. In fact, mechanical engineers enter into the work of all engineers in other branches of engineering.

The scientific and technological progress will continue in engineering along two main headlines. Firstly, it is automation, including the creation of “unmanned” industries. Secondly, raising the reliability and extending the service life of machines. This certainly requires new technology. Intense work is being carried out on new robots which can identify objects, their position in space, etc. A promising reserve in increasing the life of parts is strengthening treatment. In recent years new highly efficient methods have been found. In the shortest time possible the engineers are to start producing new generations of machines and equipment which would allow manufactures to increase productivity several times and to find a way for the application of advanced technologies. First is the vacuum plasma methods for coating components with hard alloy compounds, such as nitrides and carbides of titanium, tungsten and boron.
