# Mechanical Engineering Research
## Overview
Use this skill to research thermal-fluid systems with engineering rigor: define the question, collect reliable sources, preserve assumptions and validity ranges, and separate verified evidence from inference.
## Workflow Coordination
For full paper, proposal, review-article, thesis chapter, or major manuscript workflows, use an academic-research workflow as the scaffold when one is available, and use this skill as the thermal-fluid/mechanical-engineering judgment layer.
Treat the roles as:
- **Academic research workflow**: organize the process, checkpoints, outline, drafting sequence, review/revision loop, citation/claim checks, and finalization.
- **Mechanical engineering research skill**: enforce domain logic, physical reasoning, literature synthesis standards, methodology detail, assumptions, data-analysis rigor, figure discussion, plotting, presentation quality, AI/ML interpretation, reproducible coding, and proposal-specific technical judgment.
