• Undergraduate Programs in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, BUET :
The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers a 4 year Bachelor of Science
in Engineering degree program for prospective undergraduate students.
This curriculum is offered for students seeking a broad and deep knowledge of the theory, design, and applications.
In parallel to the theory courses, students attend laboratory sessional classes,
industrial visits and training programmes.

In the
curriculum for the undergraduate programme, besides the professional courses
pertaining to Mechanical Engineering, there is a strong emphasis on
acquiring a thorough knowledge in the basic sciences of Mathematics, Physics
and Chemistry. Due importance is also given for the study of several
subjects in Humanities and Social Sciences which, it is expected will help
the student to interact more positively with the society in which he lives.
Thus the course contents of the undergraduate programs provide a harmonious
blend of basic sciences and their engineering applications as well as their
social relevance.
The first two years are spent on basic work in
mathematics and physics, and an introduction to the fundamental areas of
Mechanical Engineering. The last two years completes the development of
knowledge in most of the major branches of Mechanical Engineering and
related topics. The third and subsequent terms build directly on the
knowledge of the basic subjects gained in the first two terms and go on to
develop competence in specific disciplines. In the
final year, the students get the opportunity to choose some optional
specialized courses and carryout a comprehensive project and thesis work.
The Project and Thesis work provides an opportunity to develop initiative,
self-reliance, creative ability and engineering judgement. |
