Mechanical engineering is the second most popular field of engineering after civil engineering. Mechanical engineering involves the analysis, design, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical and thermal systems. Industries employing mechanical engineers include automotive, aircraft, heating and air conditioning, power generation, oil and gas exploration and production, manufacturing plants, medical device development and a growing amount of nanotechnology.

The objective of the Bachelor of Science degree program in Mechanical Engineering is to produce Mechanical Engineering graduates who will be capable of undertaking challenging projects that require knowledge of the fundamentals and design of mechanical and thermal systems.
