Mechanical Engineering: Crash Course Engineering #3
Today we continue our tour through the major fields of engineering with a look at mechanical engineering, beginning with the steam engine. We'll discuss ...
==========
Mechanical engineers have changed the world. You could even say: the course of history. Not just once but countless times. Because they’ve identified problems that were holding humanity back, and they solved them. Things were too big and heavy to move. Travel was too difficult. Distances too far. Our bodies were too weak. If you can think of an invention that revolutionized the way people live, odds are it was created by mechanical engineers. And I don’t think I’m being biased. Theirs is the field of engineering that focuses on the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of machines and mechanical systems – pretty much anything that moves. And since the beginning, mechanical engineering has faced a great many challenges, and solved a lot of problems. The examples are too many...
