About the Department

Samara University’s Mechanical Engineering department offers a 5-year B.Sc. program in Mechanical Engineering. The department has been focusing on high-quality education and integrated laboratory experience since its start in 2013. Its rigorous and interactive curriculum, as well as hands-on learning, will prepare students for the next step in their careers, whether in professional engineering or graduate study. Mechanical Engineering is a discipline that efficiently ties engineering education to active research in a variety of fields. In its ten laboratories, the department boasts the most up-to-date infrastructure for high-end teaching, research, and development.

We strive to provide our students with the ideal combination of intellectual and practical experiences that will enable them to serve our society and address a wide range of needs. With a solid foundation in mechanical engineering principles and practice, our undergraduates are prepared to engage in ethical approaches to engineering that are concerned with society and the environment. Our undergraduates program combines academic coursework with research to prepare students for careers in specialized areas of Manufacturing and Automotive Engineering.

The department has a team of highly qualified and experienced faculty.

• Continue their intellectual development through graduate education, professional development courses, self-directed investigation, and/or on-the-job training and
• Embrace leadership and collaborative roles in their

Graduate Profiles

The outcomes we desire are that our graduates demonstrate:

• An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering to mechanical engineering
• An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret
• An ability to design systems, components, or processes to meet desired
• An ability to function on multi-disciplinary
• An ability to identify, formulates, and solves engineering
• An understanding of professional and ethical
• An ability to communicate effectively with written, oral, and visual
• The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal
• Recognition of the need for and an ability to engage in life-long
• Knowledge of contemporary
• An ability to use modern engineering techniques, skills, and computing tools necessary for engineering practice.
• An ability to work professionally in either thermal or mechanical systems
