About

■ Introduction

The department was founded in 1965 [formerly known as the National Kaohsiung Institute of Technology Mechanical Engineering Department]. The department offers programs leading to bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees. The number of graduate alumni has reached more than 20,000, and many outstanding talents have been cultivated for various industries. It is an important promoter of the advancement of Taiwan's machinery industry, and is widely sought after by young students in various types of enrollment.

The faculties have obtained doctoral degrees in mechanical engineering from well-known universities. They have professional literacy and rich practical experience. In addition to their high enthusiasm and research spirit, they also signed production and education cooperation cases with a number of multinational companies. The funding and various research results are quite fruitful.

In addition to basic equipment for teaching experiments and special research, the Ministry of Education subsidizes our establishment of high-quality learning environments by building core equipment such as Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS), precision machinery, smart manufacturing and smart materials facilities.

■ Programs

The department has 38 full-time faculties, all of whom have obtained doctoral degrees in mechanical related fields. At present, there are about 1,300 students study in the department which including around 1000 students study for undergraduate program, around 250 students study for Master Program, and around 50 students for Doctoral program.

  • Undergraduate Program：

To cultivate pragmatic mechanical professionals with practical capabilities, innovative research and development and problem solving. Recruited total about 300 new students per academic year which including around 260 students for Four-Year program, and around 40 students for Two-Year Technical program.

  • Postgraduate Program：

To cultivate high-level mechanical professionals with practical ability, innovative research and development and problem solving. Recruited total around 120 new students per academic year which including around 80 students for Master Program, around 30 students for In-Service Master program, and around 10 students for Doctoral program.
