Mechanical engineering

Mechanical engineering is the crucial study of the industrial technology world ranging from material development and production, manufacturing process technology development, system design and energy related technology, based on their basic dynamics. 
Mechanical engineering plays a crucial role in developing the industrial world in areas such as intelligent robots, bio systems, vehicles, airplanes, ships and household products. We are making efforts to meet the needs of the industry, to develop the theory of scientific technology, and to develop industrial applied technology. In that sense, the mechanical engineering has the following four research areas according to the changing research objectives and global trends: 

1. Bio Medical Engineering
2. Intelligent Robot
3. Energy/ Thermal Fluid Engineering
4. Design, Manufacturing

Specifically, we implement deeper education and research on the following 12 areas:

• Micromechanics & Nanotechnology
• Manufacturing and Materials Processing
• Robotics and Control
• Composite Materials and Smart Structures
• Flow Modeling & Computation
• Flow Control & Environmental Thermo-fluids
• Biomechanical Engineering
• CAD/CAE Area
• Mechanics of Materials
• Combustion and Propulsion Engineering
• Heat Transfer & Energy Engineering
• Aerodynamics & Aerospace Engineering
