The main objective of the course is to prepare the students to mechanical engineering profession at an early stage. The course aims to provide the students:

• A general understanding of major fields of mechanical engineering.
• Knowledge about mechanical engineering curriculum and the content of engineering courses
• Appreciation for engineering ethics.
• Awareness of social concerns in engineering practices.
• Knowledge about professional engineering organizations.
• Review on SI and Customary American Unit Systems, unit consistency, Basic units, Generated units
• How mechanical advantage and efficiency are defined and determined
• Basic principles of scientific computation and engineering solution. How the engineering calculations are output and represented.
• Introduce students to the content of mechanical engineering courses; statics, manufacturing technology, dynamics, strength of materials, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer
•  A preliminary step to engineering design in a team environment.
• Introduce CAD/ CAM using the tools of Autodesk Fusion 360
