Mechanical engineering design is a part of the overall domain of mechanical engineering. The advent of mechanical engineering and the intrusion of equipment have largely redefined human lifestyles. Mechanised equipment, from tractors and cultivators to a wide variety of industrial machinery, had effected an explosion in agricultural productivity during the early 20th century. In the process, this promoted a massive shift from rural to urban life, resulting in the development of newer equipment for the urban economy. Hence mechanical engineering evolved at an ever accelerating rate over the century.

In mechanical engineering, the development of any product involves some broad steps as mentioned below. Mechanical engineering design is an integral part of this process and shapes the utility of the product developed to a large extent.

Step 1 - Identify the Idea and Concept
