Detailed explanation-1: -Mechanical engineering has basically been developed because of a need for improvement regarding power and energies. Creation of turbines and nuclear energy are developed thanks to mechanical engineering.
Detailed explanation-2: -The first mechanical devices might be crossbows (500 BC, China and Greece). The oldest known scientific calculator, the Antikythera mechanism, dates to 150–100 BC, Greece. The spring clock (circa 1400, Germany?) and the pendulum clock (1656, The Netherlands) were the next major milestones in mechanical devices.
Detailed explanation-3: -The wheel, along with the wheel and axle mechanism, was invented in Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) during the 5th millennium BC. The lever mechanism first appeared around 5, 000 years ago in the Near East, where it was used in a simple balance scale, and to move large objects in ancient Egyptian technology.
