Abstract

Mechanical engineering is a type of engineering that uses the principles from physics and material science to develop and design many different products and services. These engineers are known to have knowledge in mechanics, statics, vibrations, kinematics, heat transfer, material science, energy, thermodynamics, and drafting. Mechanical Engineers analyze their designs with different tools to make sure it is safe, reliable, efficient, and cost effective. They also use the principles as well as the knowledge of their field to design and analyze different types of industrial equipment as well as machinery, motor vehicles, aircrafts, watercrafts and many more. In essence almost any product or service used in everyday life has been influenced by a mechanical engineer. Our program introduces these types of techniques that are required in the field of mechanical engineering by applying the principles of engineering.

Our program is intended to use advanced technology as a tool to introduce mechanical engineering to those who might choose this profession. We also want to make the field of mechanical engineering safer, when working with any high powered machinery accidents can easily occur. More importantly, it will give a closer look to fuel filters in regards to environmental safety and production. Our products use the ideas of virtual reality and interactive video games to help teach the principles and techniques used every day in mechanical engineering. Not only does it educate people but it will give new workers on site training like they are in the work place but they will be on a videogame learning the dangers of the workplace. We feel that if it helps prevent any injuries then this technology would be a great addition to our company.

In addition to spreading interest in mechanical engineering to others, our program is intended to also improve awareness in those already involved in mechanical engineering, as well as helping to allow growth and development in the field. By integrating videogame systems into a marketable product, this program is intended to help keep the field growing and increase its marketability. Our program also decreases the possibility of on site injuries and fatalities that may occur during training, which keeps the business from suffering any major losses as well as keeping trainee’s safe.
