About Program

Welcome to the fantastic world of Mechanical Engineering! It may be emphasized here that the students who will admit in the department are going to dominate in most of the world’s top listed universities on pursuing more advanced studies and in the technological innovation centers worldwide as innovative researchers, faculty staff or industrial personnel. This is where you come in. We are constantly seeking out the brightest and most promising applicants for our prestigious and growing Mechanical Engineering program.

With the combined effort of rich faculty members and staffs the graduates of this department are distinctively contributing to the development of the country. There is a dynamic and adaptive policy in this program in order to keep up with country’s industrial research and development needs along with rapid global technological progress. The main objectives of this department are to maintain a high standard of mechanical engineering education through excellent teaching-learning and innovative curricula that reflect the changing needs of the society demonstrate and disseminate research outcomes through publications and undertake collaborative research to create opportunities for long term interaction with academia and industries.

The aim of the department is to provide the students with a perfect blend of theoretical and practical experiences that helps them to serve the society and address a variety of needs. At the end of the program, students are prepared for entry-level work as a mechanical engineer as well as for the post-graduate study in mechanical engineering or in another discipline, where a fundamental engineering background constitutes a desirable foundation. The graduates from the Department of Mechanical Engineering have been very successful and have risen to distinguished positions in the industry, government, and academia at home and abroad.
