ABOUT

Created just over 10 years ago, the Department of Mechanical Engineering has been a major driver of the University’s rapid growth. Its degree programs are expressly tailored to meet the most current needs of the 21st century mechanical engineer, providing instruction in micro-thermodynamics, micro-fluidics and other key areas. Seven teaching labs for undergraduates reinforce the engineering theory taught in lectures through hands-on experimentation.

The department offers both bachelor’s and master’s degrees and is committed to interdisciplinary research. Collaboration between mechanical engineers and electrical engineers is particularly promising, having already produced advances in micro-electro-mechanical systems. Robotics research is also expected to accelerate as mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, materials scientists and computer scientists collaborate.
