FME offers a well-structured 4-year BS degree program in mechanical engineering. As a cross-disciplinary program, it gives its students a sound foundation of engineering principles and promotes communication and practical skills that are the need of the present and future knowledge driven industry. Classroom theory is reinforced through extensive laboratory work, problem-based learning, and complex engineering problem. FME is focused on design and manufacturing, thermo-fluids as well as system dynamics and control, thus, enabling students to pursue their final year design projects as per their future career aspirations.
