College of Mechanical and IT Engineering

School of Mechanical Engineering

Major

  • Major of Mechanical System Engineering
  • Major of Mechanical Design Engineering
  • Major of Mechanical Advanced Engineering
  • Multidisciplinary Major in Nuclear Engineering

Introduction

Mechanical engineering is an academic discipline that studies the principles, design, production and performance of various devices based on physical principles in order to make them practical, and it is related to all fields of engineering.

Mechanical engineering is playing an important role in high-tech fields such as development of new energy resources, space and marine exploration, new materials, bionics, etc. In particular, subjects such as mechatronics, which include both mechanical and electronic technologies, computer aided design (CAD)/manufacturing (CAM) and plant automation are fields with bright prospects in the future.

In lower-level classes, students learn basic dynamics in order to train their abilities to practice principles in physics and develop unique research capacities. In higher-level classes, students take application courses and experience actual lab works. School of Mechanical Engineering is divided into three programs such as Mechanical System, Mechanical Design and Advanced Engineering in order to assist students with the career plans, while students also complete courses such as foreign language, which is needed in this time of globalization.

Faculty: 40 full-time professors and 8 foreign professors in various fields

Major Academic Club Activities: Supports club activities so that students can utilize knowledge of their major

Grounding in Engineering: Emphasizes computer science and provides opportunity to learn other related subjects

Engineering Projects: Provide students with opportunity to make designs and productions so that they can have a comprehensive understanding of mechanical engineering

Informationization Education: Include computer skills in all major courses and prepare with curriculum and lab facilities for CAD/CAM

Multimedia Education: Utilize multimedia in most lectures to maximize educational effect

Factory Exercise: Improved design and exercises using factories that are actually operating

Research Achievements: Continuously granted by industry-academic cooperation research with considerable amount of funds

Mechanical Technology Research Center: Promote and support industry-academic cooperation research within the School of Mechanical Engineering

Multidisciplinary major in Nuclear Engineering

This educational program began in March 2011.
The purpose of this program is to train multidisciplinary human resources for nuclear industries. Academic departments including Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Civil Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Chemical Engineering are participating in this program. The students of this program will receive two degrees, their major field and minor in Nuclear Engineering.

History

For the past years, large amount of government funds such as the College of Engineering National Support Project and the BK21 Outstanding Local University Promotion Project has been invested. Thus, we are prepared with various advanced testing materials and facilities such as the 13,200m2 mechanics hall, factory exercise center, industry-academic cooperation center, etc.
In 2001, it became the first in the nation to test ABEEK program. In 2005, students automatically receive ABEEK certification as soon as they graduate. In addition, in the national college assessment, it was chosen as the fifth best mechanical engineering school from 81 colleges.

Job Fields

Students have many career paths to choose from such as automobile, aviation, shipbuilding, electronics, chemical and metal industries. Recently, there has also been an increasing demand for students of mechanical engineering in the high-tech fields as well. Students also have many opportunities to go on to graduate school. With the help of various career paths and the accomplishments of many graduates, the employment rate for this major exceeds 80%.
