PREFACE

The Department of Mechanical Engineering was founded in 1963 when Sindh University Engineering
College was established. The college was upgraded to Mehran University of Engineering and Technology in
1977. A four year undergraduate programme of Mechanical Engineering is being offered, leading to the
degree of Bachelor of Engineering.

The Department has gained a good reputation in the while designing its courses and syllabi keeping in view
the trend and requirement of the field. The syllabus is revised and updated from time to time, wherein the
recommendations of National Curriculum Revision Committee (NCRC) are also well taken into
consideration.

Maintaining this trend, the Department of Mechanical Engineering has implemented the conversion from
term system to Semester system and revised its syllabus entirely, with the inclusion of a few new courses
including Thermal Power Plants and Safety, Health & Environment. State of arts laboratories, e.g.
Automobile, Aerodynamics, Engineering Mechanics, Energy systems, Fluid Mechanics, Mechatronics and
Mechanical Vibrations have also been established within the department. Mechanical Engineering
Workshop has also been equipped with the advanced and innovative machines to be employed for
grooming the students in areas of design and Manufacturing. The revised syllabus has been approved by
Board of Studies, Board of Faculty and Academic Council in 2012-2013.

The undersigned would like to express gratitude to all the faculty members in general and senior faculty
members in particular for their valuable co-operation and suggestions in preparing this revised syllabus.

INTRODUCTION

1
This prospectus is intended to provide you an introduction to undergraduate and post graduate study at the
Department of Mechanical Engineering and to help you decide whether this department provides what you
are seeking in terms of both your academic and personal aspiration.

Sindh University Engineering College, established in 1963 and later upgraded to Mehran University of
Engineering and Technology in 1977, is today one of the Pakistan’s leading public universities. It owes to
its origin to three major departments, the one of which is Mechanical Engineering Department. Our full-time
student population of the department is almost 525 at undergraduate level and over 40 students are post
graduate.

In 1975, the Department of Mechanical Engineering started a four years degree course in Industrial
Engineering. First batch of Industrial Engineering graduated in 1979-80. Presently it is a separate
department.

With 23 academic staff, including 5 professors, and more than 18 academic related and technical support
staff, the department possesses excellent computational and experimental facilities. Numerous personal
computers are available, together with access to several mainframe machines. A number of experimental
facilities are also available, including a large scale Mechanical Engineering Workshop. Other laboratory
facilities cover all the main areas of Mechanical Engineering.

The Department offers two Postgraduate programs in the fields of Manufacturing Engineering and Energy
Systems Engineering. The former was started in 1977 and is being conducted by highly qualified and
experienced faculty of the Department under the Directorate of Postgraduate studies. The later has been
started from the year 2010. These taught courses lead to one of three qualifications: Certificate, Diploma or
Masters. Part of the taught programme is made up of course work. The remainder involves independent
study for a supervised dissertation or project on a topic and to be submitted by a particular date. Both
elements are examined.

Postgraduate study at the Department can also be undertaken in the form of research. The principal
research degrees are Master of Philosophy (M.Phill) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). Research degrees
involve independent study, assisted by a supervisor and co- supervisor, leading to the completation of
thesis.

1. Mechanical Engineering Vision Statement

The Mechanical Engineering Department’s vision is to acquire recognition for high valued curriculum
designed for the customers seeking admission in prestigious alma meter, Mehran University of Engineering
and Technology.

2. Mechanical Engineering Mission Statement
Consistent with the University’s Mission, learning is the first priority in the Mechanical Engineering
Department. To implement our mission, we ensure the dissemination of innovative teaching and
professional skills. The Department is committed to facilitate the outstanding education to undergraduate
and postgraduate students to cater the techno-scientific needs of society.

3. Career Opportunities

Mechanical Engineering has diverse applications in the realm of science and technology. The graduates of
Mechanical Engineering have opportunities in many public as well as private sector industries. With the
rapid growth rate of expansion in the industrial sector, the employment potential for mechanical engineers
has been increased manifold.
These engineers are employed in a number of companies, organization, and industries, e.g. automobile,
manufacturing process plants, renewable energy technologies, automation technology, oil refineries,
technical wings of armed forces, marine engineering departments, space research organization, electronics,
etc. The department equips the young students with a state of art, innovative technical knowledge. These
professionals with rich managerial and technical education could find job opportunities in administrative and
managerial positions in public as well as private sector industries.
They can offer their expertise in teaching and innovative research institutes. In addition, these high valued
human resources can be profoundly progressive in sales, marketing, and consultancy pursuits. Several
government departments including telecommunication defence, and PWD, etc, employ mechanical
engineers to cater their technical needs.

4. Educational Objectives

 To prepare students for successful careers and lifelong learning.

 To train students in methods of analysis including the mathematical and computational skills for solving
real world problems.

 To develop skills pertinent to the design process, including the student’s ability to formulate problems, to
think creatively to communicate effectively, to synthesize information applications.

 To teach students to use current experimental and data analysis techniques.

 To instill in the students an understanding of their professional, social and ethical responsibilities.

 To strengthen the link between department and industry.

 To enhance the quality of Mechanical Engineering program through systematic assessments and feedback.
