Mechanical Experimental Research Academic Teaching Group

1. Functions and Responsibilities

The Mechanical Experimental Research Academic Teaching Group (MERG) is responsible for managing, operating, developing, and utilizing experimental research facilities to support education, scientific research, production, technology transfer, and teaching activities related to mechanical engineering.

• The group manages and operates the Construction Machinery Laboratory (Room 31H2), including the preparation and operation of machinery, equipment, and instructional models.
  It supports:

  • Teaching the university-wide course “Construction Machinery”.

  • Teaching specialized courses in Construction Machinery and Construction Mechanization for students of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the Faculty of Building Materials.

  • Delivering postgraduate courses in Construction Machinery and organizing seminars and workshops.

• The group manages and operates the Mechanical Practice Workshop, responsible for delivering practical and laboratory-based courses such as:

  • Mechanical Engineering Practice for students of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.

  • Mechanical Practice for students of the Faculty of Environmental Engineering.

• The group also manages the Laboratory Room 302TN, including preparation and operation of laboratory equipment and instructional models, supporting specialized courses and postgraduate programmes in Construction Machinery.

2. Laboratory Facilities and Capabilities

To ensure high-quality mechanical engineering practical training for students of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, the MERG is equipped with a wide range of modern and synchronized machinery, mechanical tools, and experimental models.
These facilities meet the increasing quality demands of training Construction Mechanical Engineers and also support research and technology transfer.

The laboratory equipment is not only used for student practice but also for designing and fabricating new mechanical devices under scientific research projects at various levels, as well as for producing construction machinery for domestic enterprises.

Through hands-on experiments and practical activities, students develop skills in mechanical fabrication, construction machinery production, and component design, thereby enhancing their competence in design consultancy, supervision, and quality control of construction machinery manufacturing.
