what are similarities between production and mechanical engineering?
HI,
Production
engineering
is the study of manufacturing technology with management science whereas
mechanical
engineering
is concerned with mechanical systems, thermodynamics, kinematics and energy and related fields.
The difference lies in Mechanical engineers focus more on product development works to design and manufacture new products for customers whereas Production engineers focuses more on making manufacture more resourceful. Product engineers work on the products and process designed by mechanical engineers. SO this is the only major difference.
Production
Engineering
is
one
of
the
roles
of
Mechanical
engineers
.
They both can be inter-related.
Hope this helps.
