(For non-mechanical engineering students)
Prerequisite: Have earned credits of (MES211 or MES310
or MES311) or consent of Head of School
A service course for students with major outside
mechanical engineering. Experimental practices cover
fluid mechanics, heat transfer, thermodynamics,
combustion and emission, mechanism, physical and
mechanical properties of materials. Technical notes on
the experimental tests have to be submitted for grading.

Laboratory I
Prerequisite: Have earned credits of (MES310 or MES311)
or consent of Head of School
Students are required to conduct tests and experiments
on physical and mechanical properties of materials,
mechanisms, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and heat
transfer, combustion and internal combustion engines.
Reports or technical notes on the tests and experiments
have to be submitted for grading.
MES392 Mechanical Engineering 2(1-3-2)
Laboratory II
Prerequisite: Have earned credits of (MES310 or MES311)
or consent of Head of School
Students are required to conduct tests and experiments
on physical and mechanical properties of materials,
mechanisms, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and heat
transfer, combustion and internal combustion engines.
Reports or technical notes on the tests and experiments
have to be submitted for grading.
MES403 Senior Project I
1(0-2-1)
Prerequisite: Senior standing or consent of Head of School
Students are required to present seminars on current
development of mechanical engineering to their
classmates and faculty members. The seminars may lead
to senior projects later on. The reports of the seminars
have to be submitted for grading.

(For Foreign Exchange Track)
Prerequisite: Senior standing or consent of Head of School
This course is intended for students who wish to
participate in the exchange program. It is designed for
topics related to mechanical engineering, but not
presently offered as either a required or technical
elective.
MES406 Special Study in Mechanical 3(3-0-6)
Engineering II
(For Foreign Exchange Track)
Prerequisite: Senior standing or consent of Head of School
This course is intended for students who wish to
participate in the Exchange Track. It is designed for

elective.
MES407 Senior Project II
6(0-18-0)
(For Senior Project Track)
Prerequisite: Senior standing or consent of Head of
School
A final course involving individual or group projects
including design, analysis and implementation of
mechanical systems selected from various interesting
areas within mechanical engineering. Students are
required to propose their projects during the first
semester of their senior year. After a project is completed,
students are responsible for submitting their final report
and giving a presentation.
MES408 Extended Mechanical
6(0-40-0)
Engineering Training
(For Extended Training Track)
Prerequisite: Senior standing or consent of Head of School
Students are provided with extensive on-the-job training
at selected modern mechanical engineering facilities.
The purpose of the course is to allow the students
opportunities, to work and intensively conduct an
individual research or practical project for at least 17
weeks under the close supervision of faculty members
and main supervisors assigned by the training company.
After the project is completed, students are responsible
for submitting their final report and giving a presentation.
MES413 Advanced Thermodynamics 3(3-0-6)
Prerequisite: Have earned credits of (MES211 or MES311)
or consent of Head of School

energy, the second law and entropy. Thermo-mechanical
availability and irreversibility. Availability equation for a
control mass and applications. Energy and mass equations
for a control volume and applications. Second law
efficiencies for control mass and control volume
applications. Chemical availability. Energy analysis of
engineering cycles. Thermoeconomics.
MES422 Thermal System Design 3(3-0-6)
Prerequisite: Have earned credits of (MES321 and
MES341) or consent of Head of School
Design procedure. Comparison between a workable system
and optimum system. Equation fitting for equipment
and processes characterization. Modeling of equipment
and processes based on physical laws. Simulation of
thermal systems. Selected optimization techniques
such as Lagrange multiplier, search methods, linear
programming, etc.
