The Mechanical Engineering program is centered on the principles involved in the generation of power through appropriately designed machines.
The program emphasizes the various types of power generating machines, their functions, components, construction, and operation and maintenance.
Specifically, it is concerned with mechanical design, energy conversion, fuel and combustion technologies, heat transfer, materials, noise control and acoustics, manufacturing processes, rail transportation, automatic control, product safety and reliability, solar energy, and their technological impact to society.
