About the Department

Since the beginning of engineering science, mechanical engineering has been and still is the main discipline of all engineering sciences. Mechanical engineering is the leading discipline in the exploration of new knowledge and technologies, through innovations in vehicle design, aerospace sciences, intelligent robotics, biomedical devices, and energy systems, as well as research to find new methods and processes for the production of advanced materials, nano devices, and energy. clean. It is no secret that mechanical engineering is a pivotal discipline in industrial sectors and it is difficult to imagine modern industries without the support and contribution of mechanical engineers. Therefore, it is the cornerstone of every technical and industrial development.

Mechanical engineering is concerned with the design, development, manufacture, operation, and maintenance of a wide variety of machines and systems. Mechanical engineering requires knowledge of basic concepts in physics, mathematics, statistics, kinematics, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, machine design, material mechanics, materials engineering, electromechanical systems, etc.

Mechanical engineers use these basic principles with other methods such as computer design, computer modeling and simulation, and practical techniques to solve engineering problems and design products. Today, the mechanical engineer deals with a variety of systems, industrial equipment, and machinery including refrigeration and air conditioning systems, vehicles, transportation systems, aircraft, robots, computer-aided manufacturing systems, medical devices, and power plants.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering in Unaizah - Qassim University, since its establishment in 1437-1438, is aware of the need to graduate engineers with good skills and a distinguished scientific background to meet the challenges and huge requirements to suit the rapid growth rates of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
