The range of our undergraduate programs cover all areas of mechanical engineering, with particular focus on the specialized needs of industries. It is our aim to prepare our students to excel in all important areas of our profession, such as design systems, power generation, manufacturing, CAD/CAM, air-conditioning, water desalination, and energy management among others.

Each and every one of our students is important to us. Our graduates are held in high regard by the industry. As a result, our students find rewarding  jobs in various engineering plants in large, medium and small scale companies of the private sector, as much as excellent  positions in power plants, water resources management, oil and petrochemical refineries, of the public  sector.  Consequently, we have a commitment to provide our undergraduates best knowledge. Therefore, they are guided throughout their courses by personal tutors and are taught by experienced and dedicated staffs.

It is our primary mission to always prepare and improve our undergraduate program, in order to bring our students up to the state of art in the development of  engineering industry and career.  The department is fast growing, with a plan to offer post graduate studies, Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering.  Also, we plan to apply for accreditation of our Bachelor degree program by ABET. Our vision  is to achieve distinction, integrity and excellence measured in all our activities. We are dedicated to providing a truly outstanding education opportunity through a proper balance of high quality undergraduate, post graduate and research programs. Our  goals include improving our undergraduate technical knowledge by continuously upgrading teaching laboratories and workshops, enhancing the quality and reputation of our research activities, so that we become nationally and internationally reknown for partnerships with government agencies and industries and other Institution of learning.
