Department of Engineering Mechanics

 

1. Introduction

The Department of Engineering Mechanics  was established in 1963. In 1959, it was separated from the Department of Machine principle – Electrical (1959 – 1963).  It has been called Department of Engineering Mechanics .

The Department is responsible for teaching basic subjects for the Faculty of  Engineering and  researching  in the field of agricultural mechanical engineering.

The Department has contributed to the training of many engineers, masters, doctors in the field of agricultural engineering and engineering industry and rural construction.
