Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate Programme By The American University in Cairo |TopUniversities

Programme overview

Main Subject

Engineering - Mechanical

Degree

BSc

Study Level

Undergraduate

Study Mode

On Campus

The educational objectives of the mechanical engineering program are to graduate mechanical engineers who can: practice professionally as team members or leaders in both local and global, multidisciplinary environments; advance their careers in mechanical engineering or other fields through promotions, positions of increasing responsibilities or professional certification; contribute to the welfare of the society, and respond to its needs with consideration of ethical and environmental issues; engage in advanced academic and research careers; and pursue entrepreneurial endeavors.

Students are offered mechanical engineering electives concentrated in five areas: The Energy Systems concentration provides the engineering background for optimum use of energy resources; calculation of energy loads; design, selection and integration of conventional and non-conventional energy systems and components. The Design concentration integrates elements of the mechanical engineering program and utilizes modern computer methods to enable the engineer to model, analyze and design mechanical components and systems. The Industrial concentration enables the engineer to analyze, design, integrate, automate and manage industrial systems. The Materials and Manufacturing concentration focuses on ways of controlling material composition, treatment, and manufacturing in order to meet design requirements, and achieve desired levels of performance. The Mechatronics concentration focuses on computer programming, automatic control, sensor technology and, microcontrollers, robotics, integrated electromechanical design as well as automation techniques.

The Mechanical Engineering (B.S.) program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET under the commission’s General Criteria and the Program Criteria for the Mechanical and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

The Mechanical Engineering (B.S.) program has an equivalence from the Supreme Council of Universities in Egypt.
