Mechanical Engineering is a broad field of engineering that is based on physics, mathematics, and materials science. It encompasses the design, analysis, production, and management of nearly all types of machinery and mechanical systems, from everyday tools to large-scale industrial facilities. Our Mechanical Engineering program can be broadly divided into three areas: [Design/Manufacturing], [Thermal/Fluid], and [Mechatronics].

[Design/Manufacturing] area covers all processes from interpreting and evaluating product ideas to concrete production drawings, based on core knowledge in solid mechanics, machine component design, and CAD. With the advancement of CAD/CAE technologies, traditional design processes are being replaced by 3D computer models, and production processes are becoming automated and intelligent with the introduction of technologies like 3D printing and smart manufacturing robots. These trends are expected to accelerate in the near future, often referred to as the Fourth Industrial Revolution era.

[Thermal/Fluid] area is traditionally rooted in core knowledge of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics. It includes the design, analysis, production, and evaluation of thermal systems such as engines, heat exchangers, HVAC systems, as well as fluid systems like aircraft, turbines, ships, and pumps. There is a growing demand for clean energy utilization devices, including hydrogen, as solutions to energy and environmental issues. This has led to the development of integrated technologies that combine traditional thermal/fluid engineering with electrical, materials, and chemical technologies.

[Mechatronics] area is a relatively young subfield of mechanical engineering that combines traditional mechanical engineering with electrical and electronic engineering. It is based on core knowledge in dynamics, vibration engineering, and electrical/electronic engineering. Mechatronics encompasses the design, analysis, production, and evaluation of mechanical-electrical/electronic hybrid systems, including electric motors, sensors, actuators, and robots. The demand for mechanical engineering graduates with knowledge in electrical/electronic engineering is on the rise in a wide range of areas, from smartphones to intelligent manufacturing robots, covering everyday life and the production environments of the Fourth Industrial Revolution era.
