In Mechanical Engineering, students study a variety of topics that provide a strong foundation in the design, analysis, and manufacturing of mechanical systems. Key areas include:
Engineering Mechanics: Focus on the behavior of materials and structures under various forces, including statics, dynamics, and fluid mechanics.
Thermodynamics: Study of energy, heat, and work, and their transformations in systems such as engines, refrigeration, and heating systems.
Material Science: Understanding the properties and behaviors of materials used in mechanical engineering, such as metals, polymers, and composites.
Manufacturing Processes: Learn about techniques like casting, welding, machining, and additive manufacturing (3D printing) for producing mechanical components.
Machine Design: Designing mechanical components such as gears, engines, and turbines, focusing on functionality, durability, and safety.
Control Systems: Study of systems used to control mechanical processes like robotics, automation, and HVAC systems.
Fluid Mechanics: Examining the behavior of fluids in motion, essential for systems like pumps, turbines, and aerodynamics.
