In summary, economics and mechanical engineering intersect in various ways, such as through cost analysis and optimization of production processes. Economic principles are applied in the design and development of mechanical systems to ensure efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Mechanical engineers also consider economic factors, such as supply and demand, when making decisions about materials and manufacturing methods. Additionally, economic considerations play a role in the maintenance and sustainability of mechanical systems, as engineers must consider the long-term costs and benefits of their designs. Overall, economics is a crucial aspect of mechanical engineering, as it influences decisions at every stage of the design and production process.

I'm mechanical engineer and my job is today related to economical aspects. Anyhow, I'm a science enthusiast since ever.
My native language is not English. So, I hope my posts will not contain too many mistakes.
