Department of Mechanical Engineering
Department of Mechanical Engineering
The Mechanical Engineering Program is of four years duration. The College started implementing this program starting from Fall 2015. The program has some small components in entrepreneurship, technical English, communication, and the core requirements for Mechanical Engineering program.
The Mechanical Engineering Program was designed in line with the College mission of continuous strive for excellence and fulfillment of the needs of human resources for the country's industrialization process in the coming decades of an increasingly competitive world, and, thus play an important role in supporting Oman's goal of sustained industrialization.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering prepares specialists engineers, leaders, entrepreneurs and researchers to take leadership roles in the fields of Mechanical, Manufacturing, thermo-fluids, and thermodynamics, and related engineering professions with skills to develop innovative and sustainable solutions to the related engineering challenges.
The programs in the department are offered through a variety of coursework which provides a solid foundation and technical expertise in the engineering sciences and management skills. The coursework needing to analyze, plan, design, construct and maintain facilities such as Design, Mechanical product innovation, CAD/CAM, CIM, Material and manufacturing, Instrumentation and measurements, Industrial project management, Finite element analysis, Quality control.
Through these programs, the students gain a comprehensive and related engineering knowledge through theory, practical work and real-life projects which enable them to contribute to the growth of Sultanate of Oman.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers the following programme:
BEng (Hons) - Mechanical Engineering
The department has a dedicated team of faculty and staff who are technically competent and experienced to help the students meet the challenges of the ever demanding program. The department has excellent lab facilities in:
- Mechanical workshop
- Welding workshop
- Materials Lab
- Thermodynamic lab
- Thermo fluid lab
- CAD/CAM lab
- CAD (equipped with software like AutoCAD, Finite element analysis(
- The strength of material Lab
These laboratories provide the students with opportunities for activity-based / problem-based learning and motivate students to link their theoretical knowledge, assisted by real-time projects, to practical issues of the field.
- Well established laboratories suitable for research and consultancy activities.
- Very active research environment with regular and excellent research publications in journals and international conferences by staff
- Students also active in research as manifested by their papers in International conferences
- Industrial visits, to enhance the learning experience. Total 08 visits were arranged involving 04 modules in each semester.
- Society oriented live diploma projects related to society carried out by students, including on aspects like sustainability
- Student members in professional societies such as ACME.
The department’s research is organized into focus groups and technical areas, which comprise the core mechanical engineering-engineering mechanics disciplinary areas. Our research groups are formed based on the expertise and interest of faculty. Active research groups formed base on the national plane and global focus area. Researchers can involve with one technical area and one or more research groups, depending on expertise and research interests.
Current mechanical engineering staff research areas include Renewable energy, design, synthesis and manufacturing, composite materials, environmental engineering, fluids, kinematics and dynamics, non equilibrium thermodynamics, nanotechnology, nontraditional machining, robotics and system integration, tribology and vibrations of structures.
Our research field include the following:
- Mechanics and Materials,
- Industrial Engineering, Systems and Operations,
- Machinability of aerospace materials,
- Advance power systems,
- Prediction modeling and Artificial intelligence, Composite material, Bio-materials, Artificial intelligence and renewable energy
