Department of Mechanical Engineering

Department Features

Acquire the knowledge and skills of mechanical engineering, from fundamental principles to advanced applications, to ultimately support societal infrastructure.

As times change, so do the key industries of our society, but machines remain the foundation of all industries. The creation of these machines relies on four fundamental principles: material dynamics, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and mechanical dynamics. In addition to mastering these core areas, mechanical engineers must develop expertise in drafting, designing, machining, and evaluation—the essential skills that form the backbone of the profession. The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers a four-year curriculum that prioritizes the study of dynamics. Through continuous hands-on practice, students develop the skills and technical abilities required for mechanical design. Graduates excel across diverse industries, from developing transportation systems such as automobiles and railways to power-driven machinery such as engines and pumps, as well as precision instruments such as smartphones, watches, and cameras.

• Diploma Policy

  The Department of Mechanical Engineering awards a Bachelor of Engineering degree to students who complete the required credits within the designated period and meet the following criteria.

   

  (1) Possess knowledge of humanity, society, and nature, as well as fundamental and basic knowledge and skills in mechanical engineering.

  (2) Have creative abilities for manufacturing and acquire practical knowledge and technical skills.

  (3) Demonstrate the ability to apply mechanical engineering knowledge to rationally solve various problems, with strong analytical thinking, decision-making skills, planning ability, and autonomy.

  (4) Have the ability to explain and communicate the basis and process of their thoughts and decisions through presentations, document creation, and effective communication.

  (5) Understand the societal and environmental impact of mechanical engineering, uphold ethical principles, and collaborate with diverse individuals.

  (6) Recognize the social responsibility of engineering professionals and contribute to improving human convenience and quality of life, as well as promoting the healthy development of society and industry through mechanical technology.

  (7) Engage in continuous learning to enhance their knowledge, skills, and competencies in mechanical engineering.
• Curriculum Policy

  The Department of Mechanical Engineering structures its curriculum based on the following principles to develop students who possess the competencies outlined in the diploma policy.

   

  (1) To deepen students' understanding of humans, society, and nature, the curriculum includes general education courses, which are divided into Foundational Education Courses, Common General Education Courses, and Special General Education Courses. Additionally, to ensure students acquire fundamental knowledge and technical skills in mechanical engineering, the curriculum offers ""Fundamental Specialized Courses"" that cover natural science subjects. The Core Specialized Courses introduce the academic principles of mechanical engineering and provide foundational knowledge. Furthermore, ""Advanced Specialized Courses"" allow students to gain a more concrete understanding of mechanical engineering by exploring a wide range of specialized fields. 

  (2) To develop creative abilities in manufacturing and equip students with acquire practical knowledge and skills, the curriculum includes hands-on subjects such as exercises, experiments, design and drafting, as well as a graduation research project within specialized courses. 

  (3) To develop the ability to apply mechanical engineering knowledge to solve various challenges rationally while developing critical thinking, judgment, planning, and initiative, the curriculum incorporates exercises, experiments, seminars, graduation research, and technical English within specialized courses. These elements also contribute to the development of presentation skills, document writing skills, and communication abilities. 

  (4) To foster ethical awareness and the ability to collaborate with diverse individuals as mechanical engineers, the curriculum includes courses on environmental engineering, the history of technology, engineering ethics, seminars, and graduation research. These courses also encourage students to leverage mechanical technology to improve human convenience and quality of life, contribute to the sustainable development of society and industry, and develop a continuous learning mindset and motivation for lifelong learning.
