What is the difference between production and mechanical engineering?

Mechanical is one of the base branches of engineering. Production engineering is a more lighter version of the mechanical engineering with more onus on the softer aspects. Although production engineering and mechanical engineering come under engineering, both are entirely different. 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. Production engineers may be aware of the management challenges interrelated to production. These professionals strive to make production possible through the smoothest, most-judicious and most-economical techniques. However, mechanical engineers work profile includes providing resourceful solutions to the development of processes and products. It ranges from miniature components to extremely large plant, machines or vehicles.

Dear, production engineering is a part of mechanical engineering. If you want to go in manufacturing industries & want to be a specialist in production then you can do the your B.Tech course in production engineering. In mechanical, you can learn about all the energy subjects like thermodynamics, refrigeration and air conditioning, fluid mechanics internal combustion engine and some part of production engineering.
