Welcome to the fantastic universe of Mechanical Engineering! Mechanical Engineering is

universally considered as the cornerstone of almost all fields of engineering science.
The various disciplines of mechanical engineering are ubiquitous, not only in simple to
complex applications of industry, but also in our quotidian everyday life. Therefore any
engineering educational program should take into account the inherent multi-disciplinary
characteristics of mechanical engineering major.

1. On Friday 27th July, 2012, an estimated 4 billion people worldwide will watch the

opening ceremony to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The opening

ceremony is the official start to the Olympic Games. It is also an opportunity for the

host nation to show off or ‘showcase’ its many talents and qualities. Some parts of

the ceremony are present in all Olympic opening ceremonies. (They are obligatory

according to the International Olympic Committee charter.) Other aspects of the

ceremony are unique to the host nation, and are intended to represent what is special

about that country.

2. Many aspects of the opening ceremony for London 2012 are being kept secret or

‘under wraps’ so that we will all be surprised and delighted on the night. We know

about other details because the artistic director, Danny Boyle, (Oscar-winning director
of the highly acclaimed film, Slumdog Millionaire), has told the press about them. We

know, for instance, that the ceremony will start with the sound of the largest bell in

Europe, (weighing twice as much as Big Ben). We know that the Olympic stadium in

Stratford, East London, will turn into a scene which represents the British countryside,

(titled ‘Green and Pleasant’ from a poem by William Blake). This scene will feature

meadows, farmyard animals, and a river representing the Thames. It will also include

a replica of the Glastonbury Tor. Artificial clouds will ‘rain’ on this rural scene as

families play cricket and children dance around maypoles

3. As mentioned above, the ceremony will also feature aspects that are a part of all

Olympic opening ceremonies. For example, the President of the International Olympic

Committee will welcome the head of state of the host country, (Her Majesty the

Queen), at the entrance of the Olympic Stadium. Next, there will be a procession of all
the athletes who are taking part. The teams will enter the stadium in alphabetical

order, in the language of the host country. The two exceptions to this rule are the

Greek team, which, according to tradition, leads the parade, and the host nation’s

team, (in 2012, the British team or ‘Team GB’ as they are called), which enters last. When all
the nations’ teams are inside the Stadium, speeches will be given by the

chair of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games,

Sebastian Coe, and the President of the International Olympic Committee, Jacques

Rogge. They will then formally invite the Head of State to officially declare the Games

open. The Olympic Flag will then be carried into the Stadium and lifted into the air as

the Olympic hymn is played.

4. Another fixed aspect of the opening ceremony is the Olympic Oath. One athlete,

(representing all athletes), will stand on the rostrum and, holding a corner of the

International Olympic Committee flag in their left hand and raising their right, take

the oath, in which they vow to compete according to the rules of a sport and without

taking performance-enhancing drugs.

5. The climax to the opening ceremony is when the Olympic flame enters the Stadium.

Athletes will pass the flame to the final torchbearer, who will light the cauldron,

marking the beginning of the Olympic Games 2012.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering of Dhaka University of Engineering & Technology

has undergone through several stages of evolution and progress since its establishment in
1980.

Today, congruent with 21st century's requirements and in harmony with modern branches of
science, such as Nanotechnology or Bio-Mechanics, Mechatronics and emergence of
modern methods of education such as virtual or e-learning and long life self-learning skills,
the mechanical engineering curricula has been programmed based on new paradigms and
futuristic visions in order to prepare engineers for confronting the societal and ethical
aspects of their professional life and the challenges of modern technologies.

standards of education and rigorous examinations or evaluation procedures.

This website is designed for two main purposes.

The first goal of it is to introduce or present our various capabilities and potentials in
developing and conducting academic programs of education in Mechanical Engineering to
general scholar public.

The second purpose is to build a platform where Bangladeshi or foreign based students,
industry experts or independent researches could find useful links that may help them in
their research endeavors and to maintain a bridge of collaboration and cooperation between
scholars and industrial experts on national and international level.

The University Dhaka University of Engineering & Technology (DUET), Gazipur is one of the
reputed universities for the study of Engineering in Bangladesh.

The University originated in 1980 as a Faculty of Engineering under the University of Dhaka
offering four years ' Bachelor degree in Civil ,Electrical and Electronic and Mechanical
Engineering ' to help meet the growing need for advanced engineering education in
Bangladesh.

With new technologies appearing faster than developing countries can absorb them, the
technology gap between developing and industrialized nations continue to widen at an
alarming rate.

/wɪð nuː tekˈnɑːləʤiːz əˈpiːrɪŋ ˈfæstə ðæn dɪˈveləpɪŋ ˈkʌntriːz kæn æbˈsɔːrb ðem ðə tekˈnɑːləʤiː

A major reason for this widening gap is the lack of skilled engineers capable of integrating
new technologies into existing, systems and networks.

/ə ˈmeɪʤər ˈriːzən fər ðɪs ˈwaɪdnɪŋ gæp ɪz ðə læk əv skɪld ˌenʤəˈniːrz ˈkeɪpəbəl əv ˈɪntəgreɪtɪŋ

To alleviate this situation by educating engineers with the ability to plan, administer and
manage the latest technologies, in June, 1986, under its name of Bangladesh Institute of
Technology, Dhaka, the Institute became an autonomous institution empowered to award
degrees.

Established in the year 1980, as Department of Humanities, it has made a remarkable

progress in a short span of time by fulfilling the major objective-to provide a
student-centered communicative education, by which students would not only obtain
specific knowledge about the disciplines they major in, but also develop critical thinking
perspectives that could be applied in attaining academic excellence as well as in their
professional life.

Being the multidisciplinary Department, HSS offers courses in undergraduate engineering

programs namely; Accounting, Economics, English Language (theory and laboratory
sessional) and Industrial Laws, Management, Psychology, and Sociology.
