1. General Information
Mechanical Engineering Department was established in 1970 as Eskişehir State Engineering and Architecture Academy. In 1982, engineering departments were transferred to Anadolu University, Faculty of Engineering and Architecture where it continued to education and research from 1982 to 1993. At 1993, Anadolu University was split into two universities by law. Our department has continued its activities at Osmangazi University, Faculty of Engineering and Architecture. In our department has graduated about 2800 Mechanical Engineers in the last 40 years. In the Mechanical Engineering Department, five main branches of science are instated. These branches are Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Energy, Construction and Manufacturing, Machine Theory and Dynamics. About 100 Mechanical Engineers are registered to the Institute of Science and Technology as Master students. New students are added to these students each year. There are 6 Laboratories (Materials, Heat Technique, Machine Tools, Hydraulic Machines, Motor Vehicles, CAD) in our department. There are 6 Professors, 8 Associate Professors, 7 Assistant Professors, 1 instructor, 5 assistant and 3 Laboratory Technicians in our department.
