General Overview

Mechanical engineering is a foundation for electronics, chemistry, steel production, and plant engineering. It is closely related to the design and production of power-, production-, and transportation-related facilities as well as the familiar automobile industries. As our learning is closely involved in every aspect of industries, we have enjoyed high employment rates. And the job qualities are also excellent. The Department is selected by Ministry of Knowledge Economy in 2010 as a training center of IT-Mechanics fusion technology. Students are engaged in many study groups such as SSARA, whose focus is on cars, Cheon Gum Bi on airplanes, Mechatronics on robots, Materials and Components Design, CAD/CAM Design, Automation of Control, CFD, and Visualization.

Educational Goals/Objectives

We aim to produce professional and responsible workforce that will contribute to such areas as automobile industry, general machinery, ship building, steel production, and plant construction. For this purpose, we emphasize the importance of mathematics, basic science and technology, and information technology in engineering. Based on this foundation, we train students to cultivate problem-solving capabilities by theoretical as well as practical teachings. We also demand students to have communicative competence in global settings in terms of language proficiency, cultural literacy, and international understanding.
