Strategic Growth of Department

At the present stage the Department of Mechanical engineering and Materials Science and Engineering offers a degree in Mechanical Engineering only; one of its future objectives is to also offer an undergraduate degree in Materials Science and Engineering. As part of its strategic growth, the Department aims to develop four thrusts in each of the two fields. They are shown in Table B below.

TABLE B – ΤABLE OF FUTURE TECHNICAL THRUSTS IN DEPARTMENT

Mechanical Engineering		Materials Science and Engineering

Thrust 1	Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering	Thrust 5	Microtechnology and Nanotechnology
Thrust 2	Renewable Energy and Sustainable Development	Thrust 6	Biotechnology
Thrust 3	Manufacturing and Robotics	Thrust 7	Organic Electronics
Thrust 4	Biomedical Engineering	Thrust 8	Materials Processing

Table C below summarizes the structure of the undergraduate programme.
