About Us
Department of Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering contributes substantially to all kinds of industrial activity, and therefore has a strong influence on our daily lives. Because of the broad interests of students and wide scope of activities in which the mechanical engineering are engaged, the research and education activities of the department cover many fields both fundamental and applied, for example; the effective usage of heat-fluid, energy conversion and environmental control, the strength of industrial materials, dynamics analysis of machine, intelligent machine control, synthesis of robotic and mechatronics systems, and machine design and production.
There are currently 21 academic staff members in the department, and every year the department accepts about 90 freshmen.
The department is organized into three principal sections which include the following research and education fields.
