Defining Discipline

Mechanical Engineering is the application of mathmatics and sciences to design machines and components to solve problems. 
This description matches the description I gave in my first blog.  I have known what mechanical engineering is and it has not changed my view on my future.  I have also been doing ME for 6 years now as well. 

Wikipedia

“Mechanical engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of physics and materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design, production, and operation of machines and tools.^[1] It is one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines.”
Webster.com
“: a branch of engineering concerned primarily with the industrial application of mechanics and with the production of tools, machinery, and their products “ 

Michigan Tech

“The mechanical engineer may design a component, a machine, a system or a process. Mechanical engineers will analyze their design using the principles of motion, energy, and force to insure the product functions safely, efficiently, reliably, and can be manufactured at a competitive cost.”

Columbia University

” Mechanical engineering is a diverse subject that derives its breadth from the need to design and manufacture everything from small individual parts and devices (e.g., microscale sensors and inkjet printer nozzles) to large systems (e.g., spacecraft and machine tools).”
