Mechanical Engineering Department

 

The Mechanical Engineering Department was established in 1988. Mechanical engineering is one of the most comprehensive fields in the engineering science. This is recognized when dealing with instrumentations, machinery, specialized equipment, power plants, refrigeration, air-conditioning as related to industrial, and production aspects. Three major lines are dealt with in the department, namely applied mechanics, thermal power and manufacturing of engineering materials. The high quality programs in education and research in the department enable the graduates to participate in various aspects of the industrial development of the country. The first M.Sc. course in the department was started in the academic year 1989-1990. The graduate M.Sc. and Ph.D. studies programs in the department comprise two specializations, namely Applied Mechanics and Power and Thermal Engineering. The graduate studies programs aim at high quality engineers in the relevant fields to contribute in the industrial, scientific and educational development of the country. The research activities in the department cover applied dynamics, vibration, control, lubrication, composite materials, friction materials, conventional and renewable energy sources, heat transfer, air-conditioning and refrigeration and aerodynamics.
