Mechanical
engineering is the discipline that applies the principles of
engineering, physics, and materials science for the design, analysis,
manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch
of engineering that involves the design, production, and operation of
machinery. It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering
disciplines.
The
mechanical engineering field requires an understanding of core areas
including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science,
structural analysis, and electricity. Mechanical engineers use these
core principles along with tools like computer-aided design, and product
lifecycle management to design and analyze manufacturing plants,
industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems,
transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices,
weapons, and others.
Mechanical
engineering emerged as a field during the Industrial Revolution in
Europe in the 18th century; however, its development can be traced back
several thousand years around the world. Mechanical engineering science
emerged in the 19th century as a result of developments in the field of
physics. The field has continually evolved to incorporate advancements
in technology, and mechanical engineers today are pursuing developments
in such fields as composites, mechatronics, and nanotechnology.
Mechanical engineering overlaps with aerospace engineering,
metallurgical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering,
manufacturing engineering, chemical engineering, industrial engineering,
and other engineering disciplines to varying amounts. Mechanical
engineers may also work in the field of biomedical engineering,
specifically with biomechanics, transport phenomena, biomechatronics,
bionanotechnology, and modeling of biological systems.

§ Question: What is the cost of applying through ACASC?
Answer: ACASC
charges a service fee of 50$ for using its online application portal.
Applying through ACASC into Chinese universities attracts a service fee
of $50.
· Question: Can I apply to the university directly?
Answer: Yes.
ACASC gives the applicants, the chance to directly apply to their
desired universities through our online application portal. We have
synchronized our system to create a simple platform that connects
universities and colleges in China to international students all around
the world.
· Question: How can I track my application status?
Answer: To
track the application status, please log in your ACASC personal
account. Whenever there’s an update, you will be informed on your
application status through ACASC system within a day as soon as we
receive university’s notification. You will simultaneously receive ACASC
auto-email about the application status. To directly inquire about your
application status, feel free to send us an email to admission@acasc.cn and our team will keep you updated.
· Question: How to deal with a pending application?
Answer: When
an application is pending a decision it means that your school has
received it and no admissions decision has been made yet. The admissions
office may have reviewed your application package or may not have.
The
main cause of a pending application is usually incomplete application
documents. As a result you will be requested by the school’s admission
office to re-check and modify all submitted application documents or
perhaps even add extra documents and then re-submit them.
To
avoid further delays, carefully read the university’s comments, modify
your application form on ACASC, and re-upload the required application
documents. You can contact ACASC on admission@acasc.cn for any help with regards to your pending application
· How long does it take to process my application?
Processing
time varies for different applications. For example to process a degree
program application requires more time than a Chinese language
application. Confirmation for Chinese language application by the
admission office usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. However, time for degree
programs application differs. For example fall semester application
processing is after March, and it takes a period of 1 to 2 months. This
also depends on your qualification and the number of applicants.
