Welcome to the magical world of Basic Mechanical Engineering. Mechanical Engineering is instrumental in changing the lives of mankind in all spheres of life. This book is an introduction to the fundamental principles of mechanical engineering. It is intended for first year undergraduate engineering students who are new to the field, as well as for anyone who wants to learn more about how mechanical engineering works.

We have worked in industry and later on have been teaching mechanical engineering for over many years, and we have seen first hand the challenges that students face when they are first learning the material. This book is designed to make the learning process easier and more enjoyable. We have tried to present the material in a clear and concise way, and we have included many examples and exercises to help readers understand the concepts.
