Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate Program (English)

Engineers are individuals who create what did not exist before by using science and mathematics, developing products, processes, algorithms, and systems that provide solutions to human needs. Rooted in the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century, mechanical engineering is one of the oldest and most well-established engineering disciplines. Traditionally, mechanical engineering aims to improve human living conditions through mechanical components and systems by utilizing materials and energy found in nature, which naturally makes it a multidisciplinary field. For example, designing an automobile integrates numerous fields such as physics, statics, dynamics, strength of materials, chemistry, thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, electronic control, materials science, vibrations, and mechanical design. Disciplines such as nuclear engineering, aerospace engineering, naval architecture, and industrial engineering have emerged from and evolved through mechanical engineering. Advances in science and technology have led mechanical engineering to embrace areas such as micro- and nanotechnologies, biomechanics, information technologies, energy, and environmental issues. There is an ongoing focus on enriching core disciplines with these new technologies and raising awareness by incorporating current examples and applications in the learning process. The traditional image of heavy machinery is gradually being replaced by micro-electro-mechanical systems and adaptations to life sciences. The mechanical engineering program is regularly updated in accordance with contemporary technological needs.
