B.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering
Education goes beyond textbooks and classrooms. We believe in empowering students to easily integrate the professional world.
This intensive four-year bachelor’s program equips students with the technical, operational, and safety expertise crucial for complex energy-sector facilities. The curriculum, inspired by real-world requirements, is structured into focused yearly stages. The program produces job-ready specialists who can seamlessly operate, maintain, and manage the infrastructure of the energy industry, with safety at the forefront.
- YEAR 1: Establishes foundational science (Math, Physics, Chemistry) and safe work practices (PPE, Fire Safety, Hazardous Waste), alongside a broad industry overview.
- YEAR 2: Dives into core mechanical principles such as: Solids, Liquids, Heat Transfer and basic electronics, plus specific equipment like piping, tanks and valves.
- YEAR 3: Focuses deeply on hydraulics, valve maintenance, electrical operators, and heat exchangers, integrating theory with practical maintenance.
- YEAR 4: Dedicates analysis to critical component operations such as Gears, Drive Chains, shaft alignment and an exhaustive examination of dynamic pumps and compressors for reliability.
