Mechanical Design
Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and Environmental)
Mechanical design is the engineering discipline of creating physical components, mechanisms, and systems, encompassing tasks like part geometry creation, material selection, tolerancing, and CAD modeling. It is practiced by mechanical engineers and product designers to develop everything from consumer products to industrial machinery, often using CAD software such as SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or CATIA. Mechanical design requires balancing functionality, manufacturability, cost, and durability.
