簡介：淡江大學機械工程學系創始於民國59年，教育目標以配合國家機械工業之發展，培養優秀之機械工程師為宗旨。另為提昇台灣機械工業之技術水準，促進國家科技之自主及發展，於民國69年成立機械工程研究所碩士班，目前分為力學組、機械製造組、系統控制組等組別招生，而研究方向則分為固體力學暨機械設計、機械製造暨機械材料、熱學暨流體力學、系統控制暨微機電系統等領域；並自民國88年起開設博士班以培育具有獨立研究能力之高級人才為宗旨，並肩負起國家科學技術發展之任務。本系為拓展研究領域與配合國家發展高科技產業於91年8月正式更名為機械與機電工程學系。99學年度起機械與機電工程學系大學部分二組:光機電整合組及精密機械組。
The Department of Mechanical Engineering was founded in 1970 and offered Master's and Ph.D. degrees in 1980 and 1999, respectively. The title is changed into Mechanical and Electro-Mechanical Engineering in 2002. Provide strong faculty and facilities to train the students to be experts in mechanical and electro-mechanical engineering, and further to meet the needs of national economic and technological development. Provide basic conventional courses such as mechanics, material, manufacture, design, control, etc. The advanced applied courses such as precision machine design, advanced micro electro mechanical systems, controls of electric machinery, intelligent control, etc. were offered too. Emphasize the superior teaching as well as research and public service under the globalization, information-oriented, and future- oriented policies.
