Objectives

In adhering to these objectives, we equip our graduates:
  1. for employment and graduate study in mechanical engineering or allied disciplines. Students will emphasize mechanical, thermal, or micro electro-mechanical systems, with mathematical, computational, and experimental skills and creative thought process in corresponding engineering fields.
  2. with skills enabling them to be productive in their chosen career. These skills include understanding of contemporary topics in technology, command of modern engineering tools, design methodology, and professional experience appropriate to their post-graduation goals and professional practice.
  3. who can communicate effectively, function effectively as members and leaders of multi-disciplinary teams and undertake professional responsibilities to serve government or industry.
  4. who understand and appreciate the environmental, global, historical, cultural, societal, economical, ethical, and professional issues associated with lifelong learning and personal growth.

Outcomes

  1. Apply the core science and mathematics principles to solve engineering problems
  2. Demonstrate ability to design and conduct experiments to provide meaningful answers and collect and interpret experimental data
  3. Apply knowledge of core engineering and computers to integrated process of design and analysis of engineering systems including the contemporary engineering applications of technology
  4. Work individually and in teams to identify and solve complex engineering problems that cut across disciplines
  5. Demonstrate an ability to use information resources efficiently and communicate effectively
  6. Demonstrate an ability to apply analytical skills and creativity to investigate the adequacy of a mechanical design and to make design improvements in consistent with the socio-economic, environment, safety and other contemporary engineering practices.
  7. Integrate humanities and social sciences as part of a well-rounded education to adapt to sociological and technological changes
  8. Develop a sense of economical, social, ethical, and professional issues in the practice of engineering
  9. Embrace lifelong learning
  10. Develop professional skills through activities of senior projects, industry interaction, research, career and co-op services programs, professional organizations and other social and cultural opportunities of the university.
