Mechanical Engineering Concept Map

One assignment that was given to the students of Iron Range Engineering was to create a concept map of mechanical engineering. This map was to have everything that involves mechanical engineering. My map has four main branches. They are heat systems, mechanical systems, economics, and professional skills. Heat systems and mechanical systems are the technical skills that mechanical engineers know. Heat systems involve thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluids. Mechanical systems involve statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials. This map is somewhat difficult to create because although there is two separate branches they also correlate to one another. The professional skills branch involves all the skills that engineers need to function in a work place. Communication, project management, organization and many more are all professional skills mechanical engineers need. The economics section involves all the money management skills an engineer needs. This map is nice because it puts our career in prospective. It shows how everything in mechanical engineering is related. It also shows everything that I will need to learn as a mechanical engineering student. Overall this map was a constructive and beneficial assignment.
