LIFE AT KAUST

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING PROGRAM RESEARCH

The ME program’s vision is to “Conduct cutting-edge research and educate future leaders to address technological and engineering challenges that impact the Kingdom and the world.” We aspire to be ranked among the top graduate programs worldwide and known to produce world leading scholars, industry leaders and government policy makers. To achieve these aspirations and vision, we set our mission:
  • To focus on basic and applied research in thermal fluids, material design, robotics, clean energy, sustainability and the environment;
  • To educate our graduates to have a deep understanding of the ME fundamentals, exceptional research skills in order to make them life-long learners, and equip them with the tools essential for solving key scientific and engineering problems of the future;
  • To impact society by expanding human knowledge through a science-based interdisciplinary engineering education.

Mechanical Engineering faculty members broadly focus on the following research areas:
  • Combustion and fuels
  • Renewable energy conversion
  • Fluid mechanics
  • Thermal sciences
  • Solid mechanics
  • Plasma science
  • Control and dynamics
