The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering program, established in 1988, aims to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to meet the diverse demands of the local, regional, and global labor markets in mechanical engineering. The program spans over four academic semesters, totaling two years, with a curriculum consisting of 33 credit hours or contact hours.
Mechanical Engineering students will be able by the time they finished the program to demonstrate an efficient and up-to-date technical knowledge in the field of specialization, to identify and solve engineering problems in different disciplines of Mechanical Engineering, acquire the skills needed for continued professional development, and to demonstrate the ability to communicate technical information effectively and professionally.
Under the thesis track, students are required to complete 33 credit hours, including obligatory courses covering topics such as Numerical Analysis, Engineering Measurements, Energy Management and Economy, Finite Element Method, Research Methodology, Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, and specialized topics in mechanical engineering. The curriculum culminates in a thesis project where students apply their knowledge and skills to conduct research and present their outstanding findings.
Graduates have various career opportunities, including engineering consultancy, contracting companies, mechanical machinery industry, and work in commercial, industrial, and educational facilities, providing them with diverse opportunities to apply their knowledge and experience to contribute effectively to societal development.
