Program Description

ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering covers mechanical design, thermodynamics, materials and manufacturing to prepare engineers capable of developing and designing mechanical systems

Upon graduation, an AUS graduate in mechanical engineering should demonstrate:

  • an ability to identify, formulate and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics
  • an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental and economic factors
  • an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
  • an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental and societal contexts
  • an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks and meet objectives
  • an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
  • an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies

For Bachelor: High school diploma with minimum 80% average, English proficiency (IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL iBT 80), SAT test. For Minor: Enrollment in AUS bachelor program with cumulative GPA 2.0 or higher

The four-year program is structured to build knowledge progressively:
Year 1: Foundational Sciences
The initial semesters focus on basic sciences, including:
  • Mathematics (Calculus, Differential Equations)
  • Physics and Chemistry
  • Basic Electrical and Electronics Engineering
  • Engineering Mechanics and Graphics
Year 2-3: Core Mechanical Engineering
The middle semesters introduce core mechanical engineering principles and laboratory work:
  • Thermodynamics
  • Fluid Mechanics
  • Mechanics of Solids (Strength of Materials)
  • Heat Transfer
  • Manufacturing Technology and Material Science
  • Dynamics and Kinematics of Machines
  • Measurements and Instrumentation
Year 4: Advanced Topics and Application
The final year involves advanced courses, practical training, and a culminating design experience:
  • Machine Design and Control Systems
  • Elective courses in specialized areas (e.g., Automotive Engineering, Renewable Energy, Robotics, CFD)
  • Two practical training courses (internships)
  • Senior Design Projects
  • Project Management and Engineering Economics
