“Mechanical engineers design and build the mechanical related aspects of engines”


Dear sir


Above it is written Mechanical related aspects and not mechanical aspects


Mechanical aspects are pistons, crankshaft, valves, etc


Mechanical related aspects are engine management computer, engine block and structure, fuel mixture, etc.


Am I right in thinking the following "mechanical related aspects" of an engine, encompasses both the mechanical aspects and the mechanical related aspects this means it includes pistons, crankshaft, valves fom first one.as well as engine management computer, engine block and structure, fuel mixture, etc


Looking forward to your response.

The sentence, to my mind, is not well-written. Aside from your very reasonable question here, the quoted sentence is misleading as a definition- if that is what it attempts to be -because it uses the same words, 'mechanical' and 'engine' to define the term, 'mechanical engineeers'. I also think 'mechanical related' should be hyphenated as 'mechanical-related'.
