Overview

The Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, PhD course from the University of Cyprus objective is to train young scientists with up-to-date knowledge and techniques in the fast growing and of particular importance for the society field of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering. The students are specialized in one of the research areas of the program (Biomedical Engineering, Energy Systems, Manufacturing) with the aim to create proper conditions for a successful professional career in the public or private sector, in industry, in academic institutions or research organizations.

The program is designed to produce highly qualified graduates who:

Obtain a strong background in the fundamentals of the field, creativity, societal sensitivity and the independence of thought required for a successful career in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering.
Obtain self-motivation and self-evaluation skills to acquire more knowledge in their area of specialization during their future professional career.
Adopt a deductive approach to the learning process. This approach follows naturally from the fact that all physical phenomena important to Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineers are governed by a set of simple physical laws and are mathematically expressed by similar equations solved with the same methods.
As successful Engineers, identify, define, understand and use physical laws describing different problems.
Evaluate, select and combine appropriate analytical, experimental and computational tools for problems of specialization.
Apply these tools and solve problems to meet specific needs posed by society.
Integrate new knowledge in their background to design, propose and compose new products and services.
Apply their acquired knowledge and skills to a research project in the area of their specialization.
Are able to prepare scientific reports and present their work in the scientific community.
Are able to teach in academic institutes and supervise research projects and young scientists.
Are able to lead a team for research and development in industry.
