The Department of Mechanical Power Engineering at the Faculty was established in 1956. Currently, the department's faculty comprises 43 members specializing in various fields of mechanical engineering. Their expertise spans across both Western (American, British, German, Belgian) and Eastern (Czech, Hungarian, Indian) academic systems, as well as Egyptian traditions.

The Department of Mechanical Power Engineering is considered one of the vital branches of engineering, focusing on the study of natural power sources and how to optimally utilize or convert them from one form to another. This can only be achieved through a comprehensive and in-depth study of all natural power and energy sources, followed by the establishment of standards and criteria for their use, development, and enhancement while ensuring environmental protection.

In addition, the department prioritizes continuous research into novel methods of producing energy to expand the scope for better utilization and to develop modern and safe techniques for energy storage until it is needed. This enables the department to align with global advancements in science and technology, discovering modern methods and applicable fields to improve human welfare, making engineers effective and productive contributors to their fields. Therefore, the responsibility of a mechanical power engineer is significant, as their work is directly linked to the practical application of machinery and equipment that continually uses energy.

The department offers a Bachelor's degree after four years of study, following a preparatory year. In the first and second years, students focus on fundamental sciences such as Mathematics, Physics, Mechanics, and Chemistry, in addition to core engineering subjects such as Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, Theory of Machines, Fluid Mechanics, Automatic Control, and Strength of Materials. During the third and fourth years, students engage with specialized applied engineering subjects such as Design, Steam Engineering, Internal Combustion Engines, Hydraulic Machines, Turbomachinery, and Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, alongside elective courses.

The department is equipped with specialized laboratories aimed at enhancing the students' practical and technical skills.

The mission of the department is to graduate engineers specialized in Mechanical Power Engineering who are competitive in the labor market, fully aware of societal and environmental needs and challenges, and committed to professional ethics. Additionally, the department offers programs to enhance graduates' capabilities, provides technical and professional consultations, and offers research opportunities for postgraduate students to address industrial problems and achieve international standards.
