BA/BS in Mechanical Engineering

Qatar University's Mechanical Engineering program centers on how mechanical engineers plan, design, and manage systems and devices, with emphasis on the generation, conversion, transmission, and use of mechanical and thermal energy, alongside the design, manufacturing, and operation of related equipment. The curriculum also develops communication, teamwork, and computing skills, while highlighting engineers' responsibility to use energy and materials efficiently without unnecessary environmental harm. Students build on core mechanical engineering fundamentals before choosing a focus area: applied mechanics, mechatronics and automation, engineering design and maintenance, materials and manufacturing, or gas and energy systems. Accreditation comes from ABET's Engineering Accreditation Commission, meeting recognized international standards for preparing engineers to work across Qatar and the wider Gulf region.
