The Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering having established in the year 1960,is marching into its golden jubilee year next year. The Department offers Bachelor of Engineering (B.E) in the disciplines of Mechanical Engineering, Industrial & Production Engineering, Mechatronics. The department also offer Post Graduate (M. Tech.) Programmes in Engineering Management, Computer Aided Mechanical Design & Analysis, Manufacturing Engineering & Technology and Nuclear Engineering. . The department assimilates three simple elements: Gifted and talented faculty; an emphasis on fundamental principles of core sciences; and an academic ambience that inspires one to address the technological challenges of the future. Employment prospects for mechanical engineers are strong, particularly where local economies are growing. Industrial sectors in which mechanical engineers have traditionally made substantial contributions include aerospace, automotive, chemical, compute and electronics, construction, consumer products, energy, engineering consulting and government. In addition, the medical and pharmaceutical industries also present exciting opportunities for mechanical engineers to bridge with the lift sciences. The Department organizes Seminars and workshops on varied topics every year. The department has very good Industry-Institute interaction and has conducted several short courses for working professionals from industry.
The Department is backed by a number of well developed laboratories such as CAD Lab and CIM Lab, with state of the art hardware and software. The department also has well established basic laboratories such as Heat Engines Lab, Metrology Lab, Heat Transfer Lab, Fuel Testing Lab and Vibration lab with full fledged facilities. The department has sprawling workshop situated on a 3000 sq ft. area comprising of Machine Shop, Foundry, Smithy, Sheet Metal, Plumbing, Welding Fitting and Carpentry sections.
Concurrently, the discipline of Mechanical Engineering is constantly changing and evolving in response to new scientific discoveries and societal needs. Mechanical Engineering plays a dominant role in enhancing safety, economic vitality, enjoyment and overall quality of life throughout the world. We at the department strive to take that envisioned role for future good of all humanity.
