​Mechanical Engineering

About Program

​

The Mechanical Engineering program requires students to be enrolled as full-time on-campus students. On-campus courses are offered for two terms (fall term and spring term).  The Program provides courses with a mixed flavor of active learning and traditional lectures/laboratory work at only one location which is the College of Engineering (CoE) building. All classes are provided during daytime and there are no weekend classes. Classes run on a full-time basis from Sunday through Thursday.  Instruction is assisted by smart classrooms, multimedia audiovisuals, online courses, and the Blackboard platform.  Each term covers 15 weeks of course work followed by scheduled final examinations. 

Students begin with interesting and challenging core courses in dynamics, thermodynamics, material science, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, manufacturing processes, machine design and mechanics of machines. After completing the core courses, students start cooperative training at an appropriate company in order to acquire valuable industrial experience and develop professional skills. After completing the cooperative training program (28 weeks), students can select more advanced courses in two major areas: power and production. The program culminates with students' working on senior design project in order to transfer students from the academic community to the industrial environment.​​
