Why ME at RUET:

Mechanical engineering is the broadest and oldest branch of engineering. It is called as mother of all engineering branches. Mechanical engineers are involved with the design, manufacturing, testing, analysis, control, operation, and maintenance of the machines and engines you see in our modern lives. Mechanical engineers deal with all aspects of energy conversion into work. Mechanical engineers are multi-skilled and they enjoy excellent starting salaries. Mechanical engineers are global engineers i.e; there is no country in the world that doesn't need mechanical engineers.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at RUET prepares graduates for immediate employment in a wide variety of job sectors.  The students and academics are talent in this department for their independent thinking and expertise. You will gain a thorough understanding of mechanical engineering from ME, RUET. The Department of ME, RUET holds globally renowned professors and you will learn from the best. The academic profile and research expertise of the ME faculty members are very high. The classrooms are well-decorated modern facilities with a Wi-Fi internet connection. Our industry-university collaboration in line with the wider community creates a knowledge-sharing platform that enriches student experiences outside the classroom.   We incorporate the latest industry knowledge and technology updates.   You will get state-of-the-art labs with highly specialized research facilities in this Department. Our teaching courses are frequently reviewed to keep graduates up to date and maintain global quality. During your degree, you will get an opportunity to gain hands-on experience, participate in research, exhibition, and competition, contribute to team projects both nationally and internationally, and develop leadership and team-building skills. 

Starting your Degree:

We have designed the course content to make engineering more interesting for beginners. We frequently reviewed the course content to engage the incoming student with internationally recognized and up-to-date programs. During your first year of study, you will learn fewer technical courses and more advanced physics, chemistry, and mathematics. Because this is required for a skilled problem solver in today's mechanical engineers. As you go to the upper level of your program, more technical courses will be introduced and you will do more assignments, exams, quizzes, etc. Daily class tutorials are the main resources of your program to prepare yourself for the future. You have opportunity to use state-of-the-art technology in the lab to learn, experiment, and test your ideas.

Careers:

You will receive a wide variety of offers upon completing your degree in the mechanical engineering department. The opportunities can be highlighted through the following:

• You can engage all aspects of the energy supply and the delivery system including power generation, pipelines, and petroleum production.
•  Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) in building and industrial sectors (pharmaceutical, food process, textile, manufacturing industries, etc) for efficient energy use.
• Designing and controlling the robotic system for industrial application.
• Designing mechanical devices for biomedical applications.
• Designing and developing advanced renewable energy technology like solar PV, solar thermal, wind turbine, hydro, geothermal, tidal, etc. 
• Designing and manufacturing the vehicle from automobiles to aircraft.

Get involved in undergraduate research at the Mechanical Department. We are holding world-class faculty members and they are experts in their field. They welcome Undergraduate student to engage in their research team. Work with faculty members and postgraduate students and publish papers, present at international conferences, and showcase your work at research events. 

We have interdisciplinary research i.e.; opportunities to work with collaborators from across the campus, national industry, and others. Be a contributor to innovative research in the mechanical department.

We have well-equipped enriched modern laboratory facilities for postgraduate (Master and PhD) research where you can develop research questions, investigate, and discover the research outcome. You can find a solution to real-world problems using the facilities. Our laboratory is also equipped with advanced research software like Ansys, Comsol, Matlab, and others to conduct simulation-based research work. We have funding opportunities (research assistance, scholarship, etc) for postgraduate students for their research work. Our graduates have gone on to work for top academic institutes around the world, leading companies, and labs. Prepare yourself for a rewarding career in the academic, industry, and research Lab.
