Syllabus

The BE Mechanical Engineering program curriculum is designed not only to cover traditional areas but also to include modern fields such as automation and robotics, Industry 4.0, and machine learning. Students will gain practical skills through project-based learning, hands-on training, and direct engagement with national and local industries.

In the initial semesters, students will study core subjects such as engineering drawing, thermodynamics, mechanics, and workshop technology, while advanced courses in robotics, automotive technology, energy and environment, and design will be offered in later years. The curriculum also includes three elective courses, a minor project, a major project in two phases, and a compulsory 12-week internship.
