 Introduction

Locally, the monthly basic salary of a mechanical engineer costs around P14,500 - P48,600 per
month. In the U.S., Mechanical Engineers receive an average salary of $5,142.

A five-year course leading to a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering is the minimum

requirement. A graduate must also pass the licensure examination given by the Professional
Regulation Commission (PRC). Graduate degrees are available and may be taken for advanced
jobs, and are usually required for college teaching.

In a public university, a course in Mechanical Engineering is approximately P3,500 per semester

or a total of P35,000 for the entire five-year course. In a private institution the total cost may
range between P30,000 - P40,000 per semester.

Mechanical Engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines. Mechanical Engineers

may be employed in the following industries: Mining and Quarrying, Manufacturing, Electricity,
Gas and Water Supply, Construction, Wholesale and Retail Trade, Repair of Motor Vehicles,
Motorcycles and Personal and Household Goods, Transport, Storage and Communication and
Other Community, Social and Personal Service Activities.

A Mechanical Engineer who has undergone apprenticeship training through different activities in
a power company has the opportunity to assume a supervisory or managerial position. Those
who don’t have the inclination to be managers follow a parallel career by becoming experts or
specialists in the long run.

Mechanical Engineers deal with the production and use of mechanical power. They design,
operate and use all kinds of machines and machine tools. They likewise design and build engines
that produce power from steam, gasoline and other sources which they try to develop to augment
the sources of power.

Tasks

● Designs products and systems to meet process requirements, applying knowledge of

engineering principles;
● Specifies system components or directs modification of products to ensure conformance
with engineering design and performance specification;
● Oversees installation to ensure machines and equipment are installed and functioning
according to specification;
● Coordinates building fabrication, and installation of product design and operation,
maintenance, and repair activities to utilize machines and equipment;
● Inspects, evaluates, and arranges field installation and recommends design modifications
to eliminate machine or system malfunctions;

4
 ● Investigates equipment failures and difficulties, diagnoses faulty operations and makes
recommendation to maintenance crew;
● Alters or modifies design to obtain specified functional and operational performance;
● Conducts experiments to test and analyze existing design and equipment to obtain data on
performance of product, and prepares reports;
● Assists drafter in developing structural design of product, using drafting tools or
computer-assisted design/drafting equipment and software;
● Tests ability of machines to perform tasks;
● Selects or design tools to meet specification, using manuals, drafting tools, computer and
specialized software programs;
● Develops models of alternate processing methods to test feasibility or new applications of
system components, and recommends implementation of procedures;
● Confers with establishment personnel and engineers to implement operating procedures
and resolve system malfunction, and to provide technical information; and
● Plans and directs engineering personnel in fabrication of test control apparatus and
equipment and develops procedures for testing products.

Skills and Competencies

● Strong numerical skills;

● Reading and oral comprehension;
● Analytical skills;
● Deductive reasoning;
● Technology design;
● Computer literate; and
● Solid understanding of key concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics
and energy.

A mechanical engineer's job is to take a product to the marketplace from a concept. To

achieve this, the mechanical engineer must be able to determine the strengths and thermal
environment that a component, its parts or its subsystems must encounter; design them for
functionality, aesthetics and durability; and determine the best manufacturing method to ensure
faultless operation.

In a wide range of industries, mechanical engineers perform key roles including automotive,
aerospace, biotechnology, computers, telecommunications, microelectromechanical devices,
energy conversion, robotics and automation, and manufacturing. Currently 36 technical divisions
are listed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), from advanced energy
systems and aerospace engineering to solid waste engineering and textile engineering.

5
The scope of the mechanical engineering discipline allows for a range of career options for
students beyond the above-mentioned industries. Whatever direction they envisage, a mechanical
engineering education empowers students with creative thinking skills to develop an exciting
product or device.

1. Automotive Engineer
In the production of passenger cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles or off-road
vehicles,automotive engineers are involved. They are doing one or more of the following:
designing new or changing existing products. Troubleshoot and resolve problems in
engineering.
2. Aerospace Engineering
Develop and test rockets, ships, satellites and spacecraft by aerospace engineers.
We also develop propulsion systems and evaluate aircraft aerodynamic efficiency and
ensure that all designs, prototypes and products meet the required engineering standards,
environmental concerns and customer requirements.
3. Biotechnology Engineering
Biotechnology engineering is a field of principles of applied biology and chemical
engineering that includes the use of living things in engineering, technology, medicine,
and other useful uses. It also includes genetic engineering as well as techniques for cell
and tissue culture
4. Computer Engineering
While creating and designing memory cards, processors, circuit boards, and
networks, a computer engineer checks computer components and systems. In other fields,
such as robots or building materials, they make computers more mobile or add
computers.
5. Telecommunications Engineering
A telecommunications engineer designs and supervises the construction of
telecommunications equipment and facilities, such as complex electronic switching
systems and other plain old telephone service facilities, fiber optic cabling, IP networks
and microwave transmission systems.
6. Energy Conversion Engineering
NETL has a long history of developing energy conversion systems for the
development of coal, natural gas, and (more recently) integrated fossil fuel and renewable
generation electricity, fuels and chemicals. Flexible power systems will be required in a
variety of sizes to meet future energy demands such as district heating and cooling,
smaller grids, energy storage and further integration.

III. Chosen field “Automotive”

If you've become tired of the decreasing efficiency of your engine, intermittent strength,
rough idle, exhaust smoke, knocking noises, rattles, and other diseases that plague
worn-out engines, there are several things you could do.Another option could be to
rebuild the engine, or have it done for you. While a potentially viable alternative, the
limiting factors may be your time and mechanical skills.

Another, faster and perhaps less expensive option may make sense when you give it a
thought-and this is an installation of a replacement engine. You can either go with a stock
model, or upgrade to another, more powerful engine.

Calling out that these are general orders is extremely important. We've done our best to
cover what you'll need to do on most cars in the following steps. If the engine is
longitudinally mounted (most RWD cars) or transversely mounted (FWD) there will be
major differences, however. On some automobiles it is advised (and in fact easier) that
the transmission is pulled out as one unit with the engine. The engine must be lowered
from under the vehicle in very rare cases, which ensures that the body is raised (and we
do NOT include that difference here).References to a vehicle's repair manual along with
our directions are always recommended.

Take note, If your vehicle is fitted with A / C, please know that the venting of refrigerant
into the atmosphere is illegal (and harmful to the environment) You may want to consider

7
 taking the car to a repair shop to evacuate the A / C device before you start removing the
engine.

Lock the rear wheels with wheel chocks, and jack up the front of the car so that you can
position jack stands on the frame under specified points. Give the car a good shake to
make sure it's secure-you don't want it to crash when tugging on stuff below.

These are the steps or methods that you can follow on how to remove a car machine.

1. Disconnect Fuel Lines & Battery:

We highly recommend beginning with the fuel lines before you unhook anything else.
For safety reasons, depressurizing the fuel system is necessary on fuel-injected vehicles (almost
everything designed since the late 1980s) before disconnecting any fuel system connections.
Most vehicles have quick release type couplings across the entire fuel system at points. If
you have properly designed disconnect wrenches, unhooking those couplings is not difficult.
These wrenches feature a slotted opening that allows the clamp to fit over the fuel line.

2.Put a tag Label All Belts, Boards, And Connectors:

It's a losing bet to think you'll recall how it all goes back together when they cut the connector
under the hood.

8
3. Drain All Fluids:
Drain motor oil and engine coolant. And whether or not you're going to be pulling the motor
along with the engine, consider just draining the tranny fluid. Don't forget to unbolt your engine
block transmission dipstick cable, if your vehicle is so fitted

4. Disconnect Sleeves and Lines

Now that the fluids are removed, cut the refrigerant hoses to and from the front radiator as well
as the core heater in the back.

9
5. Dispose of A / C machine

Evacuate all the coolant out of your air conditioning system. See our article How to Use An A /
C Manifold Gauge Package for more info on that process (and recharging it later) along with the
equipment you will need to use.When the refrigerant is discharged and the device is
depressurized, the metal lines leading to the vehicle's compressor are removed from the engine
block. (We had some success with unbolting the A / C compressor from the block on some much
older cars of the' 60s and' 70s and, keeping the lines intact, swinging it out of the way.

6. Remove The Radiator And A/C Condenser

If you have a small engine and a straight up shot, leaving the radiator and A / C condenser
behind the front grille in place may be tempting. They can easily get damaged though as the
engine is being pushed forward and around during removal. Being positive is better than being
sorry.Unbolt and pull both of these things out now that the hoses and lines have already been
removed, will not take much extra effort.

10
7. Unbolt Exhaust System Components

The exhaust system needs to be disconnected from the engine. Here, you have a choice. You
might need to disconnect the header pipe (down pipe) from the exhaust manifold, or the manifold
itself (two on V-engines) may need to be unbolted from the heads.

8.Attach The Chains

Once you've got everything else disconnected, attach the chains and hooks from your engine
hoist to the engine block. Sometimes, hooks can be secured to special eyeholes that exist in the
upper portion of the engine block. If these eyeholes are not present, look for threaded holes in the
block designed to accept large bolts. These bolts are then used to install brackets which are
attached to the engine hoist chains.

11
9. Disconnect Motor Mounts
Before you start cranking on the engine hoist, you'll need to unbolt motor mounts which secure
the engine to the frame or unibody. Most vehicles have two motor mounts, although some have
up to four. The shapes and sizes of them can vary greatly. If you're not sure how to find all of the
ones on your car or truck, a vehicle-specific repair manual will tell you where they are.

10. Separate Engine From Transmission And Lift

Once the motor mounts are out of the way, lower the engine back down a bit. The next step is to
unbolt the engine from the transmission. First, it's essential to make sure the weight of the
transmission is supported securely on a floor jack or jack stand. Once the connection to the

12
engine is gone, quite a bit of support will be lost. Be careful not to position the support on the
transmission fluid pan, as that can cause damage.

IV. Statements from Professionals

To verify the related literature that the researchers

showed in the previous chapters, the researchers
decided to interview a professional about the
process of engine car removal and assembling. The
information is gathered through an actual interview
which happened in the Bula, Camarines Sur

Introductory

Years of Experience: 3 years registered as a Civil Engineer

Motivation for choosing profession: His father

Age when he became a Civil Engineer: 20 years old

Questions

● What is the main function of an Response “ The engine uses fuel to

engine on a car? produce mechanical power, then burns it.
The combustion heat is used to create
pressure which is then used to move a
mechanical device.’’

● What are the tools needed in Response”

removing an engine car?
A set of screwdrivers. A set of ratchet
wrenches. A sturdy wire or C-clamps. A
rubber mallet or a medium size hammer.
Your own battery. An engine pulling
A-frame.

● Which is more hard to do?
Removing or Assembling an
engine car?
Response “It really depends on the vehicle
and on the possibilities. Power steering, A
/ C, anti-lock brakes, and all the other
equipment on new cars and trucks brings
tremendous difficulty to the task. Tight
spaces also make the problem worse”

● How long does it take to remove a Response “That really depends on your
car engine? tools, equipment and experience. Some
professional mechanics with engine lifts

14
 and air tools can remove the accessories,
motor and transmission mounts in less
than two hours.

● Can you remove an engine without Response “Yes you can. In fact, that is the
removing the transmission? way it is normally done for an engine
repair. Although depending on the vehicle,
it might be best to remove both as a unit.
You just need to unbolt the transmission
from the engine.

V. Conclusion
Based on the gathered information from reliable sites, companies, and working
professionals on the field, the researchers can say that engine car removal and assembling is a
small process in the mechanical engineer field. According to the professional, the procedures are
valid and accurate but it requires few adjustments to ensure the safety for the individual when
conducting an experiment that involves the use of Personal Protective Gear. Such as that proper
use of materials/devices, and different devices can be used to come up with different solutions to
proceed safely in engine car removal and assembling.
