Mechanical Engineering lies at the heart of modern civilization. From the jam we spread on our morning toast to the airplanes that carry us across continents, mechanical engineering plays a vital role in shaping everyday life. It powers steam plants, builds turbines, drives transportation through powerful engines, and enables the manufacturing of countless utilities and consumer goods. It is also behind the development of robots, smart machines, and advanced automation technologies that define our future. Mechanical Engineering is the foundation of industrialization and economic growth. Its core domains include Mechanical Design, Thermal Engineering, Manufacturing Science, Materials Engineering, and Industrial Engineering. The field also increasingly spans interdisciplinary areas such as Mechatronics, Robotics, Automation, Control Systems, and solutions for energy generation, storage, and sustainability. The **Department of Mechanical Engineering at IUST** was established in 2016 with a vision to produce technically sound, innovative, and socially responsible engineers. Starting with a four-year **B.Tech program** with an intake of 60 students, the department has grown steadily—graduating multiple batches of capable engineers. In line with global advancements and national priorities, the department has also launched a **Bachelor’s program in Robotics and Automation**, empowering students with future-ready skills for Industry 4.0. Currently, the department offers both **B.Tech and Ph.D. programs**. Our faculty comprises highly qualified professionals who are not only passionate educators but also active researchers contributing to emerging areas of mechanical and interdisciplinary engineering. The department is equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories and workshop facilities that provide hands-on exposure to real-world mechanical systems and processes. At IUST, the Department of Mechanical Engineering is committed to academic excellence, research innovation, and industry relevance—preparing students to take on critical challenges in manufacturing, energy, automation, and beyond.
