Overview
The Department of Thermal Engineering, originally known
as the Power group in the Department of Mechanical
Engineering, was established in 1952 under the name of
the Department of Power Systems. The Department of
Mechanical Engineering had been originally established
in 1932. The graduate section of the department has
always focused on improving our graduates’ quality with
an emphasis on moral education. The Department of
Thermal Engineering trains students in engineering design,
experimental research and engineering management in
the following areas: energy research and utilization, clean
combustion techniques, optimization and simulation of power
