Converged Mechanical Systems
Based on traditional mechanical engineering, this major integrates education and research with information and communication technology, biotechnology, nanotechnology, and eco-friendly energy technologies. The goal is to train young researchers who can address various challenges related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the new climate regime, which have emerged as critical issues for the nation and industry. To achieve this, the program is divided into three specialized areas: Robots & Manufacturing Equipment, Nanomechatronics, and Eco-friendly & Energy Machinery, enabling in-depth study.
03Eco-friendly & Energy Machinery
The Eco-friendly & Energy Machinery specialization focuses on education and research to solve energy and environmental issues from a mechanical engineering perspective. Key research areas include energy plant technology for energy production, conversion, and utilization; power machinery technology based on zero-carbon clean fuels such as fuel cells and gas turbines; environmentally friendly high-efficiency engines; environmental machinery technology for reducing fine dust and greenhouse gases; and plasma-based energy/environmental machinery technology.
Core courses include applied thermofluid mechanics, heat and mass balance, combustion engineering, thermodynamics, power generation system engineering, plasma engineering, aerosol particle engineering, introduction to plant engineering, and cryogenic liquefaction processes. With specialized educational programs and state-of-the-art research infrastructure, the program aims to cultivate globally competitive professionals in mechanical technology who can address future environmental and energy challenges.
