Mechanical Engineering is the application of physical principles into the creation of useful devices, objects and machine?s. Mechanical Engineers create drawings of the objects to be created. Prior to the advent of the [Graphical Computer]? most Mechanical Engineers created drawings with the aid of a mechanical [Drafting Board]?.

The [Graphical Computer]? made the creation of physical models and drawings using [Computer Aided Drafting]? programs possible. Most CAD? programs are now three dimensional such that objects can be viewed from any angle.

Related disciplines include; Industrial and manufacturing engineering, Civil engineering, Aerospace engineering, and other Engineering disciplines. See also patents and inventors.
