Frontier machines - intelligent mechanical systems and environmental-friendly energy systems.
|
The mission of the Department of Mechanical Engineering is to be a leader in education and research. The department seeks to produce future leaders for industry, academia, government, and society. We provide: the education system for careers involving technological innovation and leadership; and the attractive research environment for advanced technology and science by combining the basic knowledge with the innovative application of mechanical engineering.
In the education system, the lectures start with the fundamental subjects regarding mechanical engineering and provide special subjects corresponding to intelligent mechanical systems and environmental-friendly integrated energy systems. The education curriculum covers all of the core disciplinary areas of mechanical engineering including materials, solid mechanics, measurements, controls, mechanical dynamics, heat transfer, thermo dynamics, fluid dynamics, energy systems, environmental analysis and protection, design, and manufacturing. |
