In response to rapidly
evolving technology trends and industrial needs, the undergraduate
course curriculum is aimed atproviding a broad spectrum of education
on scientific and engineering fundamentals and advancements, with
equal focus on analytical skills and hands-on practice.
The first two years of study are composed primarily of compulsory
courses, emphasizing the fundamentals of science and engineering as
well as the development of analytical skills. The focus of
upper-level courses shifts to advanced topics and trains students to
integrate knowledge acquired from the core courses through
laboratory experiments and practice in our many elective courses.
Through practical training and projects, students learn to combine
their knowledge and techniques to develop original solutions to
real-world engineering problems with confidence. While deeply rooted
in the core disciplines of mechanical engineering, the program
offers great flexibility for students to explore interdisciplinary
subjects according to their interests and study plans.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering works together with the
students and the faculty to fulfill seven educational objectives:
- Educate students on the fundamentals of
science and its applications in professional engineering.
- Train students to discover and analyze
problems, implement measurements, and interpret results towards
solutions.
- Prepare students to create, design, plan,
fabricate, and integrate at component, system, and process levels.
- Advance students’ knowledge and skills in
line with the needs of modern industrial technology.
- Strengthen students' understanding of
state-of-art technologies and contemporary issues that are
mechanical-engineering related and enhance students’
capability of integrating interdisciplinary knowledge.
- Teach students the spirit and essence of
teamwork and the power of effective communication, leadership
building, and management.
- Assist students to develop a healthy character
and a decent personality while educating them about the significance
of professional ethics and social responsibility in the pursuit of
excellence.
Requirements
To graduate, students must complete at least
134 credits, including 24 credits of general courses and liberal

Outreachh
For students who desire to study courses
outside the ME curriculum, they have the option to pursue a double
major and minor for a bachelor’s degree. With a broader aspect,
there are also 8 interdisciplinary academic programs jointly offered
by departments and colleges across the campus:
The Sustainable Resources Program, the Biotechnology Program, the
Nano-Technology Curriculum Program, the Neurobiology and Cognitive
Science Program, the NTU Leadership Development Program, the
