Important in Mechanical Engineering is: does the product/part break or deform too much. To determine this, knowledge of materials and mechanics is needed.

To operate more complex products very often sensors and actuators are needed. Thus knowledge of how sensors and actuators work is needed. To control the actuators, given the sensor inputs, also knowledge of system behaviour and controllers are needed.

Nature is beautiful. Phenomena in different fields of physics, like mechanics/electronics/pneumatics/hydraulics, can be described using the same type of mathematical equations. See also the research fields of [[System behaviour]] and [[Mechatronics]] [Isermann2005].
