Mechanical Engineering Department is one of the Premier and Enterprising departments of our university. The department offers under graduate, post graduate programs and Research Programs. The department offers B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering,Aerospace Engineering.
The faculty strength is 79 out of which 18 are with PhD. The specializations of the faculty are well balanced into Design, Thermal, Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering, Robotics and Mechatronics disciplines to cater the needs of students and research scholars.
The department is the proud host of DST FIST 2012, Grant Center of Excellence in Robotics and Mechatronics.
The department houses 8 well equipped state of the art
laboratories, 6 Research labs, One Center under Industry Collaboration with
Altair Engg. Inc, and One Center of Excellence. These labs have specific
emphasis on various experimental set ups for Research and Developmental
activities.
Mechanical Engineering studies the formulation, design, development, and control of systems and components involving solid mechanics, dynamics and controls, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, manufacturing and the conversion of energy into useful work. Industries that use mechanical engineers are involved in robotics, computer aided design/manufacturing (CAD/CAM), automotive/transportation, air-conditioning and refrigeration, and machine-to-machine interaction or machine-to-human interaction.
The department deals all the Core engineering subjects, through an attached Software module from Mainframe Software like HyperWorks, ANSYS, Pro/Engineer, FLUENT, SolidWorks, ADAMS etc. Faculty are well trained in these software and are capable of developing teaching, learning outcomes from these software.
We are also highly proud of our curriculum which is totally in line with current practices in Industry and is rigorous enough to prepare our students for successful careers after graduation. When our students graduate they are equipped with mechanical engineering tools, problem solving, computer skills, and communication and teamwork skills. We are extremely proud of our alumni, current students and the status of our department.
The department organizes various conferences and workshops on regular intervals: International and National Conferences on Multi Body Dynamics (ICMBD), workshop and seminars on Multibody dynamics and systems and Alternate Fuels. The department organizes International and National Level Competitions in Association with ASME and SAE – Students Club; the workshops in Robotics, Intelligent Manufacturing and Auto Expo’s.
