Since its founding in 2008, the Mechanical Engineering Department has built a strong reputation
for its quality teaching and research. Mechanical engineering is a branch of engineering that
focuses on designing, building, and maintaining mechanical systems. These systems can range
from large-scale machines like aircraft and power plants to smaller devices such as engines and
robotics. Mechanical engineers apply principles of physics and materials science to develop
innovative solutions to real-world problems.
