Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering deals with the design, construction, and use of machines. It applies the principles of engineering, physics, and materials science for the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems.

Mechanical Engineering is one of the conventional engineering programmes, which offers plethora of opportunities for budding engineers. The department of Mechanical Engineering of our institution is well equipped with state-of-art machinery and equipment in all the laboratories. The department has twenty-four laboratories including CAD/CAM lab, Energy lab, Heat and Mass Transfer lab etc. with latest application software packages. In addition to academics, these Lab facilities cater to the needs of Research and Consultancy.

The department has well qualified, dedicated and experienced faculty members to nurture the young minds. Four faculty members of the department have acquired Ph.D. degrees and many more have enrolled for the Ph.D. programmes. The department has three professors, three associate professors and sixteen assistant professors. A large number supporting staff is helpful in imparting necessary training in the laboratory sessions. Apart from regular academic curriculum, students are trained in domain-specific and industry oriented expertise to increase their employability quotient. ‘Mecsico’, the students’ association conducts co-curricular and extra-curricular activities like Quiz competition, Technical paper presentations etc. to name a few. The department regularly organises workshops, seminars etc., latest being ‘Virtual Manufacturing’ in April 2015.
