BS Mechanical Engineering Technology

Program Description

The department of Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering, Pak-Austria Fachhochschule: Institute of Applied Sciences & Technology (PAF-IAST) is offering BS Mechanical Engineering Technology program in collaboration with the Chengdu University of China from Fall 2023.

The BS Mechanical Engineering Technology program at PAF-IAST accredited by National Technology Council (NTC) is a hands-on program aligned with Industrial skills requirements and trending fields of Applied Artificial Intelligence and Data Sciences along with the traditional computational mechanics. This comprehensive program aims to provide students with a strong foundation in various technology subjects. The curriculum covers a wide range of industries, including automotive, process plants, and the power sector.

The program entails the initial three years, during which students engage in fundamental and core courses across six semesters. In the fourth year, students have the opportunity for On-Job Industrial Training, enabling them to familiarize themselves with the operational dynamics of diverse mechanical engineering sectors. This hands-on experience offers valuable insights into real-world working environments within the realm of mechanical engineering industries.
