MANKIND DEVELOPMENT ON THE BASIS
OF SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS
The current global state of engineering technologies reflects foremost the 
progress made during the 20th century. Striking results have been achieved in 
many fields, but there are also signs of a surging number of negative by-prod-
ucts — environmental pollution, accidents, ever-increasing depletion of global 
resources, etc. Thus, a new concept for scientific and technological progress is 
urgently required. It is to assure consistent development of the mankind on the 
basis of scientific and technological progress. Within this context, mechanical 
engineering plays a very important role.
Mechanical engineering is seen as the scientific and technological basis 
for new machinery enhancements due to the development and use of new ma-
terials and advanced technologies. The key goals of engineering are to create 
new machines that are streamlined in terms of efficiency, reliability, safety, 
economical and ecological performance.
In other words, machines should comply with high ecological and safety 
standards. It triggers development of new and advanced materials with prop-
erties such as high strength and stiffness, low density, high inter nal damping, 
high corrosion and wear resistance, and radiation stability. An example of this 
could be the common use of highly energy-efficient machines based on vibra-
tion action in mining and in the construction of roads and buildings. A lot of 
problems in different areas are to be solved within mechanical engineering.

Another tendency in modern engineering is to automate all production 
processes in order to reduce or eliminate hard physical labour, to increase 
productivity, to enhance the quality of products, and to ensure maximum 
output in production on large scale; to support or replace human intellectual 
work by using machines for solving logical problems. Mechanical engineering 
gained the lead in many engineering fields such as optimum machine design, 
computer-aided design (CAD), experimental mechanics, vibroacoustics, bio-
mechanical systems comprising “man, machine and environment”, strength 
of materials, problems of reliability and wear resistance, engineering safety, 
environmental protection, and information technologies.
