Overview of the Mechanical Engineering Department

The study in the Mechanical Engineering Department began with the establishment of the college in 1961 with a general program. In 1981, the department introduced two specializations: Mechanical Power Engineering and Mechanical Design and Production Engineering. The department is distinguished by its fully equipped workshops for student training in production methods, as well as specialized laboratories in the following fields: fluid mechanics, heat transfer, material testing, refrigeration and air conditioning, internal combustion engines, strength of materials, metallurgy and heat treatment, and measurements.

1. Mechanical Power Engineering Program

This program aims to graduate engineers equipped with comprehensive knowledge of fundamental scientific theories, advanced engineering technologies, and practical experience in fields such as mechanical power systems, power stations, refrigeration, air conditioning, hydraulic machines, internal combustion engines, automatic control, energy conversion, renewable energy, and water treatment. The program also emphasizes practical skills through laboratory and workshop training, culminating in a graduation project that reflects the students' theoretical and practical knowledge. The program seeks to prepare graduates capable of excelling in energy transformation engineering fields.

2. Mechanical Design and Production Engineering Program

This program is designed to produce engineers proficient in fundamental mathematical sciences, material strength, structural mechanics, and their applications in design and production methods, as well as project planning and management. After the second year, students specialize in one of the following branches of mechanical design and production engineering: computer-aided design, production and materials, or industrial engineering.

3. Mechatronics Engineering Program (Mechanical Systems Engineering)

The Mechatronics Engineering Program is committed to graduating versatile engineers with a futuristic mindset and the ability to adapt to continuous advancements. The program integrates interdisciplinary sciences and fosters competitiveness locally and regionally. It equips graduates to provide innovative solutions that meet the needs of various societal sectors in the multifaceted field of mechatronics engineering while adhering to ethical and professional values. The program also emphasizes environmental protection, scientific and applied research development, and the qualitative advancement of scientific studies in line with societal requirements.
