Our Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering program offers a comprehensive education designed to prepare future engineers equipped with the latest knowledge and technologies in the field. This includes core mechanical engineering principles, programming using the latest industrial software, product development, sustainable energy systems, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tools, robotics, automation and mechatronics, advanced and smart manufacturing technologies, and nanotechnology.

Our graduates are typically recruited within 2-4 months of graduation, often during their industrial internships as undergraduates. Thanks to extensive hands-on experience and a continually updated curriculum, our alumni find employment locally, regionally, and internationally across diverse industries, including consumer goods, oil and gas, consultancy firms, construction, the electric industry, IT, packaging, ceramics, automotive sectors as well as entrepreneurs.

The program ensures students gain practical experience in state-of-the-art labs and research centers. Our faculty members are pioneers in their respective fields, supporting student research and innovation. Our students have the opportunity to work alongside experts on impactful projects, to present their work at international conferences and to pursue their graduate studies in the highest ranked universities worldwide.

We invite prospective students, researchers, and collaborators to explore the exciting opportunities within our department. Whether you are looking to start your academic journey, pursue advanced research, or partner with us on innovative projects, the Mechanical Engineering Department at AUC has much to offer. Follow us on social media and check out our news and events page to stay updated on the latest achievements, research breakthroughs, and departmental activities.
