Theory and Practice — the Two Wheels of the Cart
The mechanical engineering department prides itself in providing its students with opportunities to create mechanical systems by utilizing the knowledge and skills they acquire in their studies. This is not a hobby making a model in simple way, but the training involves planning, designing, and making of software and hardware for systems. The process, which is based on a firm understanding of relevant concepts, requires both deep insight and an ability to put theoretical knowledge into practice. Students at the department receive the necessary education that will allow them to rise to the challenge of creating new mechanical systems.

Being at the Forefront of Innovative Mechanical Systems
Although people commonly associate mechanical engineering with robots, the discipline is far broader. Technologies used in automobiles, fuel cells, healthcare equipment, satellites, aircrafts, and rockets are some areas the discipline is concerned with. The department is home to a diverse mix of faculty members who compete with researchers around the world in their areas of expertise. They are motivated individuals who are driven to conceive advanced and efficient technologies and conduct research with the aim of implementing these technologies in ways that would be useful to society.

Laboratories with Leading Experts and State-Of-The-Art Technologies That Allow for Infinite Possibilities
Once students join laboratories to conduct their own research, they receive guidance in small groups. Their research may be unique and advanced, and may even be on a topic that no one else in the world is involved in. Students will have the chance to experience the excitement of tackling real problems that no one knows the correct answers to.
