UCI-DUT Joint Program

About UCI-DUT Joint Program

The Joint Program in Mechanical Engineering Between Dalian University of Technology and University of California, Irvine (“Joint Program”), which is called “Mechanical Design & Manufacturing and Their Automation” at DUT and “Mechanical Engineering” at UCI, combines a broad-based education in the engineering sciences with a strong grounding in quantitative, problem-solving, design, and communications skills. This major is part of the Development of Specialty Majors Program for higher education,  promoted by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China.

The undergraduate program combines mechanical engineering with computer technology, automation, sensing test and other technologies to cultivate students with basic knowledge of mechanical engineering, marketing, economy, and industrial management. By emphasizing both analytical and creative methods, the Joint Program gives students the broad skills set they need to pursue their goals – whether that means working as an engineer, founding a company, or continuing on to graduate study and research.
