Mechanical engineering is concerned with the design, construction, and operation of power plants, engines, and machines. It deals mostly with things that move. One common way of dividing mechanical engineering is into heat utilization and machine design. The generation, distribution, and use of heat is applied in boilers, heat engines, air conditioning, and refrigeration. Machine design is concerned with hardware, including that making use of heat processes.
Designing the production process for a product
Mechanical Engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of engineering, physics and material sciences for analysis, design, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems. It involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design, production and operation of machines and tools.

Mechanical Engineering is an engineering discipline that involves the application of principles of physics for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines. It requires a solid understanding of core concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics and energy. Mechanical engineers use the core principles as well as other knowledge in the field to design and analyze motor vehicles, aircraft, heating and cooling systems, watercraft, manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, robotics, medical devices and more.
Mechanical, production engineering
no its not they r two eniterly diff things
focus on 4 engineering fields which are: 1) electrical engineering 2) mechanical engineering 3) civil engineering 4) environmental engineering ,
Mechanical engineering is a vast field and have many sub-disciplines like Acoustical engineering, Manufacturing engineering, Thermal engineering, Vehicle engineering and many more.In the coming 4 years people will mostly prefer Mechanical engineering because it is used in all aspects of life. Mechanical Engineering finds application in all fields of technology. It is one of the primitive branches of Engineering which have remained always in demand and continue to be in the future. This is why Mechanical trade is called as an Evergreen trade (branch). Mechanical engineers have always been needed as an essential staff personnel in various industries of both public and private sector. Their work criteria changes according to the type and domain of the company they are working with.As the Industrial sector has drastically risen in pace, the need for more mechanical engineers has increased exponentially. Every manufacturing and production industry needs mechanical engineers to carry out jobs efficiently and flawlessly for their companies. It has a tremendous scope in auto mobile engineering, cement industry, steel, power sector, Hydraulics, Manufacturing plants, Drilling and mining Industry, Petroleum, Aeronautical, Biotechnology and many more. With its wide scope of application, mechanical engineers remain always in demand, no matter which part of the world. You can also find job very easily in the following public sector industries such as Indian Railways, Indian Air force (Technical), Indian Army, Thermal power corporations etc.…
Process engineering focuses on the design, operation and maintenance of chemical and material manufacturing processes. Process engineering also involves developing new processes, project engineering and troubleshooting. Production engineering focuses more on making production more efficient, the social science of manufacturing, eliminating wasted time, money and production as well as materials. Production is more geared towards the people, process, and finished product. Whereas the process involves more of how you get there, what process takes, and not so much the finished product.
There are plenty of production engineering jobs available out there. Some common ones are an industrial technologist, industrial engineer, and manufacturing engineer.

To become a Product Engineer a person requires a Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automation, Industrial Engineering or Mechatronics. A Masters degree in Production Engineering may be required but may not be essential for a future in Production Engineering.
