Wow. Such simplistic ignorance! But then, how would you know?
 
Read at least a little bit about the field:
https://www.mtu.edu/mechanical/engineering/
 
 
 

 
Our lead ME just completed a CFD analysis for some different valve
designs we're considering for a vapor recovery solution to be used at
fuel depots. I'd say that's a bit more complex than 'designs and
constructs mechanisms'.

And again Dopey shows that he cannot read or understand the English language.

And once again, Tom demonstrates that he is overly simplistic,
technically ignorant, out of touch with the latest technology and is
unwilling to lookup an acronym with Google or DuckDuckGo search.  The
following might help:

ME = Mechanical Engineer
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_engineering>

CFD = Computational Fluid Dynamics
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_fluid_dynamics>
I'll admit that I know very little about CFD, but at least I'm still
learning.

Vapor Recovery
<https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/vapor-recovery>

Mechanical Engineers that work in the machine design field usually
don't build what they design (unless it's a model).  It's easier,
faster and less messy to run a computer simulation.  Even with 3D
Modeling, it's done by someone else.

For bicycles, that would be FEA (Finite Element Analysis):
