Historical Review
\n<\/strong><\/span>The Department of Mechanical Design and Production Engineering was established in 1971 to satisfy the ever increasing needs for engineers with solid background in Mechanical Engineering and specialized in design, manufacturing and production.<\/p>\n

Historically, the subjects of mechanical design, and production technology have been taught since 1916 within the mechanical department of the Royal School of Engineering. In 1960, a department under the name of \u201cProduction Engineering\u201d was established.<\/p>\n

The department now has more than 70\u00a0 faculty members who earned their Ph.D. from reputable engineering schools all over the world. The department has been closely related to its sister department \u201cMechanical Power Engineering.\u201d Students enrolled in Mechanical Engineering have 2 years of study in common, and then specialize within the scope of either department for the final two years of study.<\/p>\n
