Department of Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineering is core to knowledge-driven industries in the 21st century. These include automobiles, ships, high-speed rail vehicles, semiconductors and IT industrial equipment, robots and biomedical engineering equipment, next-generation steel manufacturing, aircraft and various plant industries that form the foundation of Korea's industrial might.
Since its establishment in 1979, the department has produced a total of 6,300 graduates who are currently active in all walks of life, including large and small companies, research institutes, universities, and public institutions, and overseas.
Since 1999, the department has been participating in the Brain Korea (BK) 21 Science and Technology Phase 1 and 2 projects to train high-level experts in the mechanical field in Korea. Since 2003, it has been interfacing field-oriented and research-oriented programs with the Ministry of Education's academia-research-industry cluster curriculum as well. Not only that, the department provides education that can give our students a chance to start their own companies sometime down the road.
In addition, the department is featured in the Optimal Design New Technology Research Center commissioned by the National Research Foundation and the Reliability Analysis Research Center and Micro biochip Center supported by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy to carry out various national research, development projects, and industrial initiatives, including creative research projects at the national level.
In 2004, the department came in at 2nd in the mechanical field based on evaluations done by the Korean Council for University Education. It was also ranked the “Best” in the 2012 Korean Council for University Education's university evaluation from an industry standpoint, 10th in the country in the 2013 JoongAng Ilbo evaluation, 109th in the world in the QS World University Academic Field Evaluation, and selected by the Seoul Metropolitan Area Specialization Project in 2014. Overall, the department has established itself as a research and education-driven program in the mechanical field capable of shaping the industrial landscape in the 21st century.
