Program Overview
Mechanical Engineering is the discipline of engineering that applies the principles of physics and materials science for design, manufacturing, operations, analysis and maintenance of mechanical systems. Production and usage of heat and mechanical power; design and analysis of production machinery, industrial equipment, heating and cooling systems, aircrafts, watercrafts; industrial automation, design and production of medical devices etc. are all directly or indirectly related to mechanical engineering.
This field requires an understanding of core concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, and structural analysis. Drawing upon these core concepts and the knowledge base from cross-disciplinary (non)engineering fields like aerospace, electrical, civil, chemical, biomedical and metallurgical sciences, mechanical engineers have contributed extensively in realizing technological advancements in the world today.
The Mechanical Engineering program at KUEN is designed to prepare its students to become leaders in industry, government, and academia. Particular attention is paid so that graduates of our program have solid grounds in scientific, mathematical, and technical knowledge.
Our coursework keeps pace with current relevant technologies. The undergraduate Mechanical Engineering curriculum includes foundation courses in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Engineering courses in fundamental areas constitute much of the remaining curriculum. A few technical electives allow the undergraduate student to specialize somewhat or to pursue broader understanding in a particular area. A senior capstone project experience culminates the curriculum.
Career Opportunities
The graduates of mechanical engineering program will be well prepared as competent engineers in consulting, engineering project management, mechanical design and analysis. The existing employment market for mechanical engineers is constituted by all sorts of industries, including manufacturing and production, chemical and process, construction and building, etc. Besides, different governmental establishments, consulting firms, and academia also offer a large number of opportunities for mechanical engineers.
Our mechanical engineers will be trained as per the domestic and global industry requirements. Within the country they will have ample opportunities in government and private departments.
