In the curriculum for the Mechanical Engineering program of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, besides the professional courses pertaining to Mechanical Engineering, there is a strong emphasis on acquiring a thorough knowledge in the basic sciences of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. Due importance is also given for the study of several subjects in Humanities and Social Sciences which, it is expected will help the student to interact more positively with the society in which he lives. Thus the course contents of the undergraduate programs provide a harmonious blend of basic sciences and their engineering applications as well as their social relevance.

The first two years are spent on basic work in mathematics and physics, and an introduction to the fundamental areas of Mechanical Engineering. The last two years completes the development of knowledge in most of the major branches of Mechanical Engineering and related topics. The third and subsequent terms build directly on the knowledge of the basic subjects gained in the first two terms and go on to develop competence in specific disciplines. In the final year, the students get the opportunity to choose some optional specialized courses and carryout a comprehensive project and thesis work.
