Mechanical Engineering is the oldest field of engineering specializations. In the past decades, Mechanical Engineering shared the development and civilization of different nations. Mechanical Engineering used the energy of waterfall, wind and steam for the technological development and civilization. Mechanical Engineering focuses on energy conversions, power machines, machine design, production processes, and testing and evaluation of the industrial products.
Some of the most important branches of Mechanical Engineering are: Applied Mechanics, and Ventilation and air conditioning. Due to its importance in development and civilization, and due to the needs of the Palestinian community for specialized and well trained mechanical engineers, the Engineering Faculty has established the Mechanical Engineering Department in the year 2002. Admission to the Mechanical Engineering Department was started in the first academic semester 2002 /2003.
The study period in the Mechanical Engineering Department consists of fulltime five years of education. During their study the department, students can concentrate their study in one of the two fields of specializations: Applied Mechanical Engineering, or Thermal Engineering.
