The department of Mechanical and Production Engineering (MPE) came into existence to meet as well as find sustainable solutions to the growing demands for industrialization in the host country, Bangladesh and across the globe. Its core structure and curriculum has been designed to equip the students with the skills necessary to succeed in any competitive industry. Most of the technologies we come across in our day to day life — from aircraft to life saving medical devices — are designed using mechanical engineering principles. Mechanical engineers understand the world as parts in motion, and they’re always in demand in the marketplace. Our graduates pursue careers in a vast number of areas like designing mechanical systems, assistive medical devices, low-carbon technologies, power and energy sector as well as pursuing graduate studies. The MPE department excels at and takes much pride in its educational efforts, allowing students to gain unique study experiences that make them valuable resources for the industries. Our students have further broadened their experience by actively participating in various team entrepreneurial activities – from IUT Mars Rover team to Unmanned Aerial Systems team. The mission of the MPE department is to provide a high quality educational experience to its students in order to excel as professionals and to grow throughout their careers. To create, explore and develop innovations in engineering and science through undergraduate and graduate research and engaging in academic and scholarly activities to strengthen regional, national and international reputation.

The Department of Mechanical and Production Engineering of the University offers various engineering and technological courses at post-graduate and undergraduate levels. Under the long regular programs, the Department offers -

• Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Mechanical Engineering
• Master of Science (M.Sc) in Mechanical Engineering
• Master of Mechanical Engineering (M.Engg)
• Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) in Mechanical Engineering
• Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) in Industrial and Production Engineering

Apart from above programs, knowledge updating and skill upgrading courses are conducted on regular long term basis for the students of Instructor Training and General Studies Department at various levels starting from Diploma in Vocational Education to the highest Master of Science in Technical Education including Post-Graduate Diploma in Technical Education, Bachelor of Science and Diploma in Technical Education, while on short term basis special training programs are designed and offered. The course curricula are under constant scrutiny and review and are continuously updated to meet the needs and requirements of the Member States as well as the international standard of the curricula.

The Department is involved in technological and engineering research as well as in organizing seminars, short courses, symposiums and workshops. Assessment of solar energy in the Islamic World, solar energy utilization, prospects of indigenous low-cost construction materials, automation of manufacturing processes, emission from automobiles, vehicle dynamics are some of the research and development projects now being carried out in the Department.
