Overview

The Mechanical Engineering Department was started in the year 2009. The department has a team of highly qualified, devoted and motivated faculty and well equipped laboratories to conduct the UG Programme as tremendous standard. The Department has association with ISTE, SAE for the conduct of student career development programmes to expose their hidden technical skills. The Department continuously interacts with industries in order to incorporate the current trends.

It regularly organizes technical lectures, seminars, workshops, Conference to bridge the gaps between the syllabus and current practice. The students of the department are given additional soft skill and technical training on cutting edge technologies and placed in reputed industries. The students are motivated to participate in various inter-collegiate events and conferences to present their academic projects and developments. The department has signed MoU’s with various organizations to provide real time training to the students for making them industry ready professionals in their core field.

Prospects

Mechanical Engineering is a vast subject which is a stand-alone discipline supporting almost every other branch of Engineering. The aim is to impart knowledge in the core subjects of design, production and fluid power engineering with a solid foundation in mathematical techniques to make the graduate suitable for functions such as design, production, installation, maintenance and research & development. Students will have the opportunity to work in diverse fields like Production, Industrial Engineering, Design, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning. They also have the option to work in CAD/CAM fields, Computer Hardware and Software Development areas. A high percentage of students get admission to prestigious Universities abroad to pursue their MS Degree. Students who successfully graduate have tremendous scope in public sector and private sector organizations.

They are the driving force behind many of our technologies and industrial processes including innovative products like mobiles, PCs and DVD etc in our modern world. They share interests with Civil Engineers in structures and stress analysis; Electrical engineers in electronics, computing and control theory; Aeronautical Engineers in fluid flow and turbo machinery etc and also design tools needed by other engineers for their work. Continued research and development has led to better machines and processes helping the mankind.
