MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

REVISED UNDERGRADUATE

PROGRAM IN MECHANICAL

ENGINEERING

June, 2009


1. BACKGROUND OF THE DEPARTMENT

The College of Faculty of Technology and Engineering is established in 2000E.C as a

Five-year course of pre-engineering education under Ministry of Education. The

Technology aspect begins with four departments namely Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and

Textile-Leather Engineering with B.Sc degrees.

As of recent years, stakeholders and employers have expressed concerns that the graduates

of the Department from other faculties lack practical and innovative skills. This lack has

been coupled by deficiency in communication and managerial skills of the graduates. It is

believed that this new programme in the faculty has incorporated the necessary changes

that will address the issues raised by stakeholders and employers in the early established

faculties.

2. OBJECTIVES

The objective of the Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate Program is to provide broad-

based education and training in mechanical engineering and its applications leading to a

Bachelor of Science Degree, to enable graduates to meet the challenges of the engineering

profession in a rapidly changing environment that exists in a developing country. These

challenges require the ability to apply existing knowledge in new ways thereby creating

new systems and opportunities as well as adapting existing technology to local production

conditions. These require the ability to manage service, maintain and improve upon

existing systems.

3. PROFESSIONAL PROFILE OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Mechanical Engineering is a profession that deals with the design, manufacturing, selection, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of all forms of machinery, equipment, and industrial systems. The profession plays a vital role in the establishment and sustainable operation of a nation's manufacturing industries, transport systems, power generation, construction, and mining industries.

The tasks which professional mechanical engineers undertake are too many to list them all. Some of the typical engineering tasks these professionals are expected to deal with are:

product design, development and manufacturing; industrial plant design, equipment selection, plant erection, commissioning,

operation and maintenance; industrial gas- and water-supply system/component design; automotive and construction equipment design and maintenance; energy conversion system/component design, installation, commissioning,

operation and maintenance;

1


heating, refrigeration, air-conditioning system/components design, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance;

industrial project design and evaluation; project management; Factory and technical service management in the capacity of general manager,

technical manager, operation manager ,maintenance manager, and sales manager.

Mechanical Engineering profession can be acquired and mastered by graduates who are well educated to enter into, and dedicated to continue growing in the profession. An undergraduate Mechanical Engineering program meant to produce such graduates must be designed to provide to the students a sufficiently broad and deep base of mathematics, physical sciences, and engineering sciences; broad knowledge of mechanical engineering systems, machineries and control systems; excellent knowledge of design and manufacturing theories supported by extensive laboratory exercises, workshop practices, and industrial internship; sufficient practices in the use of computers and application of softwares related to the field; sufficient knowledge of management concepts and communication skills, etc. In short, the program should give due emphasis to the integration of knowledge and skill to enable its graduates enter the profession.

Due to the very broad nature of the profession of mechanical engineering, the profession has numerous areas specialization at global level. In the current Ethiopian context, one could specialize in any one of the following areas:

Product Design and/or Applied MechanicsThis area of specialization focuses on the design of a product, starting from the need analysis through three dimensional modeling, strength and dynamic analysis up to prototype manufacturing and testing.

Engineering MaterialsIt deals with the study and application of materials used in mechanical engineering.

Manufacturing Engineering/ TechnologyIt deals with the design of manufacturing processes (like casting, forming, machining, joining, assembling, etc.) of an engineering product, starting from its design to planning and management of the manufacturing operations.

Thermal and Power Plant EngineeringIt deals with the design, selection, installation, commissioning, maintenance and operation of energy conversion, heating, cooling systems and equipment that utilize thermal primary energy resources.

Fluid MachineryIt deals with the design, performance analysis, selection, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of rotating machines such as pumps, blowers, compressors and various types of turbines.

Maintenance EngineeringIt deals with systematic application of reliability theory, condition monitoring and reconditioning techniques, and preventive maintenance programs to increase plant or equipment availability.

2


Automotive EngineeringIt deals with the design and maintenance of a motor vehicle and its accessories.

Aeronautic EngineeringIt deals with design and maintenance of an aircraft and its accessories.

Mechatronics and/or RoboticsIt deals with control of mechanical systems and interfacing of mechanical system with electronic controllers and computer.

Industrial EngineeringIt deals with optimal design of manufacturing plant and optimal management of material, human and machine resources in manufacturing operations to minimize production costs and maximize product quality.

Depending on the engineering tasks one is undertaking or the position one is holding, a professional mechanical engineer working in an industrial facility can have professional titles and/or job specifications like Design Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, Maintenance Engineer, Installation Engineer, Utilities Engineer, or management title/job like General Manager, Technical Manager, Operation Manager, Maintenance Manager, Sales Manager, and rendering consultancy services in the field.

4. CURRICULUM

The curriculum is developed, mainly by taking into consideration the specific objectives of

the Department. The curriculum is expected to give the student a strong broad based

background in Mechanical Engineering with focus areas of limited specialization in some

specific areas.

4.1 Rational For Curriculum

Mechanical Engineering is the main field that plays leading roles in the technological

development of a country. The objective of Mechanical Engineering Education up to now

was to educate trainable, broad based mechanical engineers that can fit in the different

applications areas of mechanical engineering after given on job training for about a year.

As AAU Faculty of technology experience, the curriculum has been revised several times

using the experience of the staff gained from USA, England, Germany and Italy. As a

result, the curriculum became broad and solid as far as knowledge transfer is considered

through time. Though there have been several attempts to accommodate the needs of local

industry, it was not done in a strategic way to fill the skill gap of the graduates. In fact, it

was supposed that the industries have to streamline graduates to their particular area by

giving them practical on-the-job training for about one year.

3


However, the Department was able to recognize that most of the industries that have been

employing mechanical engineers are small and medium sized and do not have senior

engineers for coaching the new recruits. As a result, the Department was convinced that it

is necessary to make the education more practice oriented and focused to the different

areas of industrial applications in order to make the engineers more productive. With the

increasing number of graduates in mechanical engineering, it is becoming inevitable that

some shall be self employed. Therefore, the need for training the graduates in

entrepreneurship has become necessary.

On the other hand, the Government of Federal Republic of Ethiopia has demanded the

improvement of Engineering Education to make it more relevant to local industries while

having internationally acceptable standards. Therefore, the Ministry of Capacity Building

of Federal Republic of Ethiopia, in partnership with the Federal Republic of Germany,

launched Engineering Capacity Building Program. Engineering Education reform/overhaul

which is being carried out in the Faculty of Technology is among the four tasks of this

program.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Technology, Wollo University, has

developed this new curriculum sourced by Faculty of Technology, Addis Ababa and Bahir

Dar. In general the curriculum was drafted with the objective of meeting knowledge and

skill requirement of Mechanical Engineers sated in the professional profile.

The major expectance from the curriculum is the following.

a) More practiced oriented courses are added

b) The practical education aspect of each course, such laboratory or workshop

exercises, project work and industrial visits, are enhanced and made explicit in the

program.

c) A six month industrial internship was introduced in the 8 th semester.

d) A new course on Mechatronics is included in the curriculum to introduce to

students PLC and computer based automation of machinery.

e) A course on Quality Management is introduced with the objective of training

engineers who will play important role in quality improvement of manufactured

products and/or technical services.

f) A new course in Entrepreneurship that has the objective of training engineers for

self employment is introduced.

g) Courses that deal with technology for rural development are added in the relevant

focus areas in order to promote agricultural led industrial development policy of the

country.

h) Elective groups focused on specialized application areas are introduced in the last

four semesters. The advantages of grouping students in focus areas are:

the education is streamlined to different areas of employment;

4


Small size class facilitates project and laboratory intensive education.

i) Courses are arranged in modules which are envisaged to be helpful in facilitating

organization facilities and planning of staff requirement in more structured way.

j) In order to accredit the program by European accreditation institution, the

introduction of European Credit Transfer System (ESTS) System was necessary.

ECTS credits are a value allocated to course units to describe the student workload

required to complete them. They reflect the quantity of work each course requires

in relation to the total quantity of work required to complete a full year of academic

study at the institution that is, lectures, practical work, seminars, private work- in

the library or at home- and examinations or other assessment activities. Credits thus

express a relative value..
