Abstract
Various disciplines of engineering have contributed immensely to the technological advancements across different sectors of industry. Considering the nature of the discipline, Mechanical Engineering has a predominant contribution towards them. Evolution of man-made machines, a few centuries ago, has helped teams working on different initiatives overcome various challenges. Over the years, the need for technology has changed its form. As a result, Mechanical Engineering principles now apply to a large range of disciplines and are instrumental in improving the quality of human life. As an effect of its diverse application in many sectors right from medicine to nanomachines, Mechanical Engineering has evolved as a highly interdisciplinary branch in recent times. A wide range of research avenues across almost all science disciplines now use Mechanical Engineering in some or the other form in order to solve many modern-day problems. This paper intends to explore the linkages of Mechanical Engineering as core to these new sectoral avenues and establish an analogy between the impacts of Mechanical Engineering, now and then.
