    ME111 Orientation to Mechanical Engineering

    Engr. Ronnel Lucero


    Instructor
    Mechanical engineering is the
    study of motion, energy and force.
    The mechanical engineer seeks to
    control these elements by using a
    combination of material, human
    a n d e c o n o m i c re s o u rc e s to
    develop mechanical solutions
    that help satisfy the needs and
    wants of society.
    COMMON JOB FUNCTIONS

    Designing products ranging from biomedical devices to


    internal combustion engines to fuel-efficient motor vehicles,
    motors and appliances.
    COMMON JOB FUNCTIONS
    Some of the most common job functions of a mechanical engineer are:

    Researching new ideas and solutions that satisfy society’s demands or


    improving or expanding older ideas and solutions.

    The Mars Exploration Rover is a


    mobile geology laboratory used to
    study the history of water on Mars
    COMMON JOB FUNCTIONS

    Designing and building the machines that mass produce consumer products. Of
    prime importance is designing and building machines that improve operating
    efficiency.
    COMMON JOB FUNCTIONS

    Planning how energy is created, stored and moved in industries that produce and
    deliver electrical power, such as natural gas, oil and alternative energy.
    COMMON JOB FUNCTIONS

    Managing the operations of a large system, such as a manufacturing facility or


    a power plant.
    ENERGY ENGINEERING
    • is a broad field of engineering dealing with
    energy efficiency, energy services, facility
    management, plant engineering, environmental
    compliance, sustainable energy and renewable
    energy technologies.
    • Energy engineering is one of the more recent
    engineering disciplines to emerge.
    • Energy engineering combines knowledge from
    the fields of physics, math, and chemistry with
    economic and environmental engineering
    practices. Energy engineers apply their skills to
    increase efficiency and further develop
    renewable sources of energy.
    POWER PLANT ENGINEERING
    • is a division of power engineering,
    and is defined as "the engineering
    and technology required for the
    production of central station electric
    power."
    • The field is focused on the generation
    of power for industries and
    communities, not for household
    power production. The field is an
    interdisciplinary field, using the
    theoretical base of both mechanical
    and electrical engineering.
    POWER PLANT ENGINEERING
    • A power plant or a power generating
    station, is basically an industrial location
    that is utilized for the generation and
    distribution of electric power in mass scale,
    usually in the order of several 1000 Watts.
    • These are generally located at the sub-
    urban regions or several kilometers away
    from the cities or the load centers,
    because of its requisites like huge land and
    wa te r d e m a n d , a l o n g w i t h s e v e ra l
    operating constraints like the waste
    disposal etc.
    SOURCES OF ENERGY
    • NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY - The non-
    renewable energy sources most
    commonly used in our world today are
    fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are the non-
    renewable sources, oil, coal and natural
    gas. (e.g Petrol, Diesel and Coal, Natural
    gas, Nuclear Fuel)
    • RENEWABLE ENERGY - is energy that is
    collected from renewable resources,
    which are naturally replenished on a
    human timescale, such as sunlight, wind,
    rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat.
