[] About Program



Mechanical engineering is an engineering discipline that applies the principles of physics and materials science for the production and maintenance of analysis, design, manufacturing, mechanical and energy systems. And it is also one of the oldest and most extensive engineering disciplines.
Mechanical Engineering requires an understanding of basic concepts such as mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, computer applications, numerical and structural analysis. Mechanical engineers use tools such computer-aided engineering and product lifecycle management for manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices and other machinery and systems that require design and analysis.

[] Goals


Master of innovative basic science, who can be effectively involved in the practice of the profession, research, participant ,sharing, mechanical engineers with professional ethics training, producing the universal nature of knowledge and technology, can convert the results of research into technology. Besides who
 internalize the theoretical and practical knowledge at the undergraduate level have taken  , aware of releated near and future problems in surrounding environment ,  analyze and provide solutions these problems, and able to report them academically, who has in-depth knowledge  the selected area of the certificated engineers.

[] Recognition of Prior Learning
Students enrolled in DU might be exempted from certain courses within the framework of certain regulations. A student can be exempted from a certain course provided related course content previously received from another institution complies with that of DU, which is subject to approval and verification by the Board of faculty/graduate school/school.

Recognition of Education Abroad

DU recognises academic terms and courses studied by a student that has been involved in an exchange programme for one or two terms at the universities with which a partnership was established.

Students that are selected to avail themselves of Student Mobility for Studies under ERASMUS are obliged to draw up an education agreement with relevant ERASMUS Unit Coordination prior to the mobility term. The education agreement demonstrates the courses to be studied at the partner university the student intends to go, as well as appropriate ECTS credits.

In addition to this, students shall be asked to issue a Recognition Sheet, which refers to the equivalent of foreign courses in DU, so that the credit transfer is planned and approved.

At the end of the exchange term, the courses studied abroad are recorded and demonstrated in the transcript, together with the original course codes and names and ECTS credits. Pursuant to ERASMUS Programme and Collaboration Agreements concluded thereunto, official transcripts will quote, an abbreviation signal of ET, European Transfer, for the courses studied abroad.
[] Description of Program


Mechanical Engineering MSc and PhD program aims to educate scientists  aware of their professional responsibility and train engineers who have creative and critical thinking abilities, ethical values, attentive, can  efficient use of materials and energy, sensitive to social events  take individual responsibility, respecting human rights, capable of independent research and also have capability for determine the necessary steps to achieve a new synthesis.
