| Mechanical engineering is concerned with the mechanisms of energy conversion and their utilization in all fields of industry, as well as in improving the quality of life for everyone. The mechanical engineering discipline has always been central to engineering. Mechanical engineers are involved in a wide range of technological activities which include: production, building-facilities, chemical processing, power generation, material science, mining and mineral extraction, transportation, aerospace engineering, and so on. For these reasons, all industries require the services of mechanical engineers.
The aim of the Mechanical Engineering Program at SIIT is to provide an effective education to prospective engineers, giving them the ability to plan, administer and manage the latest technologies. Two main areas of study are emphasized in this program; these are: (1) General Mechanical Engineering, and
(2) Energy Management.
Engineering science is taught mainly in the first and second years. Specialized mechanical engineering courses are offered to the third and fourth year students. Additionally, fundamentals on electrical engineering and industrial practice are included in the undergraduate program in mechanical engineering.
In order to serve industry competently, students have to be exposed to real equipment and processes. Two laboratory courses are required. An extended laboratory course is offered as an elective subject to senior projects, and guided by members of the teaching staff.
As engineering students should obtain some experience of industry in order to learn the ways of industrial life and work. An industrial training course will be offered for mechanical engineering students.
In addition, ME students can also choose three optional tracks (Senior Project Track, Foreign Exchange Track, and Extended Training Track).
- Senior Project Track is designed for ME students who wish to conduct the project under the supervision of ME faculty members.
- Exchange Track is designed for the students who wish to participate in the exchange program with foreign partner universities.
- Extended Training Track is designed for the students who wish to conduct the co-operative training program with industries.
