Mechanical engineering Project Ideas

In the field of mechanical engineering, we have a vast range of topics to select from. At present, companies and governments are dealing with two issues. First, is about global warming and the other is about competition.

For both these issues, mechanical engineers can contribute a lot. For example, to improve the competitiveness of the organization, you can build automation tools or robots which can help the company to improve its efficiency and similarly for global warming, you can bring some news ideas to either save energy or generate it without doing harm to nature.

The biggest positive about these is that solutions to both these issues are going to come from mechanical. This is the reason, I always recommend students to select topics which are related to either robotics or renewable energy.

I myself tried to find all the latest topics from around the world and write about them to give you some more insight into what's happening around.

Robotics 

Robotics Projects Robotics would be a good choice in mechanical projects: Robots are very attractive in comparison to other projects and if everything goes well they will make you win.

Though I  have written a separate post about robotics here as a starting point I would like to share all important links in this section. Using given links you can enhance your knowledge before building your own machines.

• Its Basics(pdf)
• Computer Controlled RC Car
• Robotic Spider
• Solar Insect Robot:  It is powered by solar. It will help you in understanding the concepts of both Robotics and Solar Energy.

Prosthesis:Low cost artificial leg

A prosthetic limb is an artificial device extension that replaces a missing body part. It is part of the field of biomechatronics, the science of using mechanical devices with human muscle, skeleton, and nervous systems to assist or enhance motor control lost by trauma, disease, or defect.

In this world, there are many people who have some kind of disability. Engineers are working day and night to make artificial limbs that works like a normal leg and controlled by the human brain. Even though they are successful in building these limbs, but in the developing world there are plenty who can't afford their ultramodern limbs because of its high cost.

Escalator Compatible Wheel Chair

People who use Wheel Chairs, always face difficulty using escalators. Students at Illinois Institute of technology find the solution to this problem by designing this chair in a different way. Wheel Chair developed by them can be used at escalators.

Steering System

Steering is the term applied to the collection of components, linkages, etc. which will allow a car or other vehicle to follow the desired course. Computer-aided designs are very important for steering systems and system modeling and simulation are more widely used in robotic vehicle engineering to reduce development time, improve the design and miniaturization of complex systems.

CATIA Projects

What is Catia?
It is a computer-aided 3D design software. After the introduction of CATIA in 1977 by french manufacturer Avions Marcel Dassault engineers from various fields get an excellent tool for working with complex innovative shapes.
