ORIENTATION FOR 2ND YEAR STUDENTS


INTRODUCTION
O The curriculum for Mechanical Systems and Vehicle
Engineering Program of ASTU was designed to be
implemented starting from 2014/15 entry students.
O It deals with application of mechanical, physical and
electronic principles to solve the real-life problems based
on the issues in design, construction, operation and
maintenance related to mechanical systems and vehicle
engineering.
O This program is the composition of:
O Automotive Engineering,
O Farm Machinery Engineering and
O Mechanical Systems Engineering
What do Automotive Engineers Work?
O Automotive engineers are involved in the
O designing and producing visual interpretations of
automobiles and their components using computer-
aided design packages
O deciding on the most appropriate materials for
component production;
O applying mechanical, thermodynamic, pneumatic,
hydraulic and electrical principles to resolve
engineering problems and find appropriate solutions;
O supervising and inspecting the installation,
modification and commissioning of mechanical
systems in industrial facilities or plants;
What for Farm Machinery Engineers?
O Farm Machinery Engineers develop methods and design
equipment for land preparation, planting and harvesting.
O Work with Sensors which are combined with
microcomputers, controllers, artificial intelligence and
other software, to optimize efficiency, sustainability, and
the reliability of our food, feed, fiber and fuel economy.
O Monitor Precision agriculture utilizing GPS, yields
monitors, remote sensing and variable-rate technology
O Conduct sales, service, training, management, planning,
market and product research related to implementing and
applying technologies.
Thinking of Mechanical Systems Engineering?

O Students who have undertaken the Mechanical Systems


major will be able to rigorously integrate fundamental
science in mechanics with engineering principles to
solve practical problems involving mechanical systems.
O Core skills and knowledge that will be developed
include:
O fundamental scientific comprehension that will lead
to accurate mathematical modeling of mechanical
systems,
…mechanical systems

O analytical and abstract thinking, problem-solving


and design skills, and the ability to carry out
laboratory experiments to confirm possible solutions
to complex problems.
O In all levels of this major, we will ensure the
development of excellent communication skills that
will enable our graduates to deliver complex
scientific information in a clear and concise fashion.
…mechanical systems
O Conduct research that tests or analyzes the feasibility,
design, operation, or performance of equipment,
components, or systems.
O Develop or test models of alternate designs or
processing methods to assess feasibility, sustainability,
operating condition effects, potential new applications,
or necessity of modification.
O Specify system components or direct modification of
products to ensure conformance with engineering
design, performance specifications, or environmental
regulations
