Mechanical Engineering Department

Mechanical Engineering involves the application of physics for the analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems and their components. It requires a basic understanding of several fields such as mechanics, thermodynamics, and energy. Mechanical engineers are capable of applying engineering concepts for the efficient, economic, and environmentally friendly design and analysis of automobiles, aircraft, heating & cooling systems, buildings & bridges, industrial equipment, and machinery.

The department was established in 1974, and graduates are working in major national and international organizations ranging from Pakistan Steel, PIA, Railways, WAPDA, PMTF, Heavy Mechanical Complex, OGDCL, SSGC, OMV, ENG RO, NRL andseveral other organizations. A good number of our graduates are also working in the Gulf countries.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers a four-year (8 semesters) bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. The syllabus contains a good number of practical-oriented subjects which provide a broad spectrum of technical knowledge to the students using laboratory experiments and workshop practice in a learning conducive environment department has taken full account of industrial electronics and Mechatronics courses in the syllabus. Besides, the department also offers various short courses not only on Mechanical Engineering software, i.e., AutoCAD, Pro-E, CNC, CAD/CAM, SOLIDWORKS, QBlade, ANSYS Fluent, and PLC but also on professional and personal career development.

Thedistinguishing feature ofthe department is the existence of08 highly established laboratories, which are fully equipped with the latest equipment. In addition, the jet engine test bench,supersonicwind tunnel, computer numerical controlled (CNC) turning and milling machines, advanced welding processes (TIG, MIG & SPOT), and a workshop are fully establishedforconducting practicals andresearchwork.

The Mechanical Engineering workshop is not only used for conducting experiments but also used to produce various articles, classes, and laboratory furniture for the University at a relatively low cost compared to the market.

In addition, the department also offers a Master's Program by mixed-mode (Course + Research) in Manufacturing Engineering and Industrial Engineering & Management. The active research areas are wind engineering, robotics, advanced manufacturing systems, mechanical system design, mechanical vibration, FEA, materials development & processing, quality management, alternative fuels, heat transfer & nano fluids, and energy& environment. The faculty members have received their specialized training and higher degrees mostly from developed countries, including the UK, Japan, Ireland, Thailand, Romania, Sweden, China, France, Germany, and Malaysia.

Mission:

The mission of the department is to impart cutting-edge knowledge to the students in the professional field with effective ethical communication skills to meet the challenges in the sustainable development of academia, industry, and society.
