The Mechanical Engineering faculty is organized into three interest groups according to research specialty: Energy, Materials and design, and Bio-medical. The Industrial and Systems Engineering faculty has three thrust areas Operational Research and & Supply Chain, Manufacturing and Automation, and Quality Engineering and Management.
See posters for a summary of current MIE research efforts:
During 2009, our MIE faculty members conducted the highest volume of research at Qatar University, attracting approximately $6 million research funding from different sources including the Qatar National Research Fund . The MIE students are actively involved in research-based education performing hands-on research through the Undergraduate Research Experiences Program (UREP).
The MIE faculty members have pioneered the first Nano-technology (Nano technology link) discipline in Qatar and maintained strong industry and government links supporting senior project capstone courses. During 2008/2009 period , the MIE faculty produced 62 quality papers ( >42 peer reviewed journal papers and >20 conferences proceedings ).
