Graduate Program

Introduction
Mechanical engineers have been very successful in the job market, following exciting careers in the automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, design and construction, and paper and plastics industries, as well as medicine, product design, and law.

Through the internationally accredited design/manufacturing core programs, consisting of carefully selected required courses, students gain in-depth knowledge of the field of mechanical engineering and what it takes to be an engineer in the real world. This experience within the design/build/test atmosphere culminates in a capstone design course. Students in this proposed program at IIUI would utilize all the skills taught in the mechanical engineering synergy to address real-world problems posed by industrial representatives, propose possible solutions to a problem, and focus on the best solution to build and test. We anticipate that our Industrial collaborators would continue to support this program because of its positive impact on their operations.

 
Academic Programs
  1. PhD Mechanical Engineering
  2. MS Mechanical Engineering

With specializations

  1. Design Engineering
  2. Dynamics & Controls
  3. Mechanical Power Engineering
We have seen strong increase in mechanical related research activity over the last several years globally. Accompanying the increase in research efforts, the department of Mechanical Engineering aims to grow in the number of supported graduate students, the number of publications, and the availability of state-of-the-art laboratory equipment. The research will encompass the core disciplines of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, engineering mechanics, system dynamics, controls, and vibrations, fatigue & fracture and mechanical power engineering.
 
Salient features of the program & program committee
An initial program committee was formulated to prepare the feasibility and discuss the proposal in detail. The committee comprised of seasoned academicians in the field, who also have the relevant industrial experience. The needs of strategic organizations are also kept in mind while preparing the program requirements. The students enrolled in this program will actively usethe in-hose research facilities and facilities available with our academic and strategic partners in the field.

  1. The program is of minimum 30 credit hours with the following breakup:
    1. Eight courses of twenty four (24) credit hours
    2. Thesis research of Six (6) credits
  2. Every subject course is of three credit hours
  3. Eight courses of 24 credits are split as
    1. One compulsory mathematics course – 3 credits
    2. Three core subjects, to be selected form core courses of sub-specialties – 9 credits
    3. Four additional courses to be selected from the list of courses – 12 credits
  4. The MS ME Program is of minimum 24 months duration comprising 4 semesters
  5. The recommended MS Program contains sub-specialties of Mechanical Engineering, being offered at IIUI w.e.f. Spring semester, 2009.
  6. The suggested titles of the courses are not mandatory and can be changed provided the due vetting from appropriate BoS and BoF is sought.
  7. The committee recommended that the department may allow student to choose a relevant elective subject from another specialty / department subject to recommendation of the student advisor for M.S Program.
