About the Department
The Department of Mechanical Engineering Technology was established in 1932 at the Azerbaijan Industrial Institute under the name "Cold Treatment of Metals." In 1942, the department was renamed Mechanical Engineering Technology. In 1950, the Azerbaijan Industrial Institute merged with the Construction, Railway Transportation, and Mechanics faculties to form the Azerbaijan Polytechnic Institute (now Azerbaijan Technical University), and the Department of Mechanical Engineering Technology continued its activities within the Faculty of Mechanics. In 1951, the department graduated its first class consisting of 20 individuals.
In response to the increasing demands for specialized engineering personnel and the growing emphasis on specialization, new departments such as Metalcutting Machinery and Tools, Technology of Automated Production, Automated Project Planning Systems in Machine Tool Technology, Reliability and Repair Technology of Machines, Technological Complexes and Special Equipment, Metrology and Standardization, and currently operating Special Technologies and Equipment Department were established over time based on the Department of Mechanical Engineering Technology.
From 1951 to 1996, the Azerbaijan Technical University (AzTU) trained 15,527 engineers in the field of Mechanical Engineering Technology, metalcutting machinery, and tools. Since 1992, the department has offered undergraduate programs in Mechanical Engineering and Material Processing and started offering master's programs in 1998.
Computer technology is widely applied in teaching specialized subjects at the department. Electronic teaching aids based on hypertext technologies, multimedia technologies, and animation tools are extensively used to enhance the quality of teaching. The department's laboratories and specialized classrooms are equipped with five interactive boards and four electronic projectors, and they are connected to the university's internet network.
The department operates a teaching laboratory equipped with 8 modern devices and measuring instruments: Agile production complexes; Virtual Project Technology Training Center; Automated Project Planning Systems, "Hexagon" Coordinate Metrology Laboratory, "Reciprocal Exchange," "Technical Measurements," "Testing and Testing Equipment," and "Innovation Measurement Laboratory."
The purpose of the department
The department prepares specialists in the fields of Mechanical Engineering, Device Engineering, Metrology Standardization and Certification Engineering, and Energy Machine Engineering, and conducts scientific research in these areas.
