Graduate Mechanical Engineering
The mechanical engineering program offers post-graduate study in both traditional
and currently emerging specialties. The curriculum is designed to provide maximum
flexibility in the selection of courses according to each student's specific interests.
The objective is to enhance professional skills through advanced technical courses
that build upon a foundation of mathematical, experimental, and modern computational
methods.
