Coursework
Standards set by each country's accreditation society are intended to provide uniformity in fundamental subject material, promote competence among graduating engineers, and to maintain confidence in the engineering profession as a whole. The specific courses required to graduate, however, may differ from program to program. Universities and Institutes of technology will often combine multiple subjects into a single class or split a subject into multiple classes, depending on the faculty available and the university's major area(s) of research.
The fundamental subjects of mechanical engineering usually include:
Engineering Mechanics
Strength of materials and solid mechanics
Instrumentation and measurement
Thermodynamics, heat transfer, energy conversion
Combustion, automotive engines, fuels
Fluid mechanics and fluid dynamics
Mechanism design (including kinematics and dynamics)
Manufacturing engineering, technology, or processes
Hydraulics and pneumatics
Mathematics - in particular, calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra.
Engineering design
Product design
Mechatronics and control theory
Material Engineering and Control engineering
Laboratory courses like
Basic engineering lab
Computer aided design lab
Fluid mechanics lab
Work shop technology
Electrical engineering lab
Strength of materials lab
Foundry workshop
Welding workshop
Thermal lab
Heavy machines lab
Play an important role in reinforcing the concepts learned in the lecture courses.
The core curriculum builds on a foundation of basic courses in
Mathematics
Physics
Chemistry
Humanities
Basics of Civil and Mechanical Engineering.
Additional courses draw heavily from other disciplines such as computer science, mechanical engineering, materials science, manufacturing, management, and finance.
