Mechanical engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of physics and materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design, production, and operation of machines and tools.[1] It is one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines.
Presently the department has well furnished laboratories which include:
As a community of scholars, we create and share knowledge at the highest levels through our educational and research programs. We are committed to improving lives and livelihoods through research in the science and technology of mechanical engineering and delivering a superior and forward-looking education to our students. We strive to be discipline leading in our endeavors, and our scholarship values center on the concepts of innovation and impact that are distinctive, recognized, and enduring.
As a community of professionals, we promote the virtues of teamwork and an exemplary standard of conduct that defines a collegial and respectful environment. We recognize our responsibility to accept prominent leadership roles to build the department’s broad respect as a valued source of advice and technical expertise.
Through the excellence of its people, the Department of Mechanical Engineering will be recognized as a leader of its discipline in a manner that exemplifies the land-grant traditions of learning, discovery, and engagement. The department will be a desirable place to study and work, with our community comprising the best and the brightest, because of research and educational programs grounded in the mechanical engineering sciences and set within the context of meeting important societal needs.
The mission of the Department of Mechanical Engineering has three tenets that center on the principle of improving lives and livelihoods: to create knowledge through research in the science and technology of mechanical engineering; to share knowledge through educational programs and the dissemination of our new discoveries; and to develop the professional potential of faculty, staff, and students.
Our department expands the frontier of human knowledge in the discipline of mechanical engineering through fundamental and applied research conducted by faculty and students., we bring the principles of mechanical engineering to bear on important problems of national, and even global, implication: energy and the environment; health and safety; information;. Our pedagogic methodology encompasses traditional areas of mechanical ones. Through initiative and innovation, we expand the frontiers of the mechanical engineering profession.
