Mission

The mission of the undergraduate program in Mechanical Engineering (ME) is to instill in students an understanding of the fundamentals of mechanical engineering, to integrate classroom theory and practical hands-on design projects, to emphasize the process of learning and critical thinking, to develop in students the skills that are necessary to become lifelong learners, and to enlighten them of their leadership role in regional development.

Objectives

The objectives of the Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (BME) program are to produce graduates who will:

• be equipped with a broad educational background in Mechanical Engineering needed to become leaders in industry and the public sector;
• correctly apply gained knowledge, work well with other people, effectively communicate technical information and ideas with the public, their peers, customers, and employers;
• understand the need for life-long learning, the importance and professional involvement, are aware of cultural, societal, and professional issues;
• successfully pursue advanced

Each student receiving a bachelor degree from the ME Department will be expected to demonstrate:

• Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering;
• Ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs;
• Ability to develop, conduct and analyze experiments data that may aid in the design process;
• Ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems;
• Ability to use computer-based techniques and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice;
• Understanding the importance-disciplinary teams in the pursuit;
• Realization and ethical responsibilities engineer;
• Ability to communicate effectively;
• Broad education necessary to understand the impact solutions in a global and societal context and increase the appreciation” world;
• Awareness of the business environment in which engineering is practiced and other contemporary issues;
• Awareness and necessity studies or continuing education.

Practical Training

All engineering students are required to fulfill a 1-credit hour internship period of 8 to 12 weeks. This graduation requirement entails that each senior student (one who has completed around 80% of the total credit requirement) gains practical training experience during the summer term prior to graduation, or in the graduation semester, with either a company or an academic institution while involved in a practical experience.​
