Graduate School of Mechanical Engineering

History and background:

The Graduate program in Mechanical Engineering has been established in 2001, and offers the M.S. degree in mechanical engineering. Our goal is to develop state-of-the-art programs which are responsive to the needs of the mechanical industry, and which provide a fertile environment as a local research and design center. In 2004, this master program was promoted into Graduate School of Engineering and Technology.

The Special Development Features of the Program:

The research program places special emphasis on the area of precision manufacturing, mechatronics and plasma technology. Specific, practical application of the activities include: precision mold design, CAD/CAM/CAE, precision measurement and machining, robotics, intelligent control, motor control, heat transfer, cooling system design, and computational fluid dynamics.

Department of Mechanical Engineering

Cultivation Objectives:
