"The branch of engineering concerned with the design, construction, and operation of machines of all types. It is also concerned with the production and application of mechanical power."
IMechE definition:
"Mechanical engineering is the innovative application of engineering and management sciences that underpin existing and emerging technologies, to the complete life-cycle of all mechanical devices, machines and systems."
