Dept. of Mechanical Eng. >> Fields of study
Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineering is the engineering field that applies the principles of engineering, physics and material science to the mathematical modeling, design, analysis, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems.
Transport Phenomena
The area of transport phenomena studies the phenomena of the transfer of quantity of movement, energy and matter.
Thermal Engineering
The area of thermal engineering focuses on the study of thermodynamics, which includes studies of properties of substances, the laws of thermodynamics, motors, cooling cycles, and others.
Solid Mechanics
The area of solids mechanics concentrates its study on the mechanics and dynamics of rigid, elastic and plastic bodies, considering the loads acting on the body, the effect of temperature and the influence of the materials that compose it.
Machine Design
The machine design area concentrates its study on the development of machines, automations and daily necessities.
Manufacturing Processes
The area of manufacturing processes studies the operations performed in the industry from the arrival of the raw material until its finalization and referral to the commercialization and use.
