Area of Study and Career Opportunities

Design and production mechanical engineers analyze their design using the principles of motion, energy, and momentum to ensure that the product functions safely, efficiently, reliably, and manufactured at a competitive cost with minimized environmental hazards. This is achieved by combining the study of science, mathematics, engineering fundamentals, design, management and quality principles. The department covers the fields of solid and fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, engineering design, production technology, economics, and management. Basic studies are devoted to the mechanical properties of materials, machine design, dynamics and control, instrumentation, fundamentals of fluid flow, and energy and power systems. Recent developments in systems approach, information systems, advanced materials, manufacturing processes, global firms, supply chain, and quality systems will also be addressed.
