Mechanical Engineering at K L University is a very versatile established engineering branch in 1980. The program duration is 4 years (8 Semesters) and explores important core areas like Product Design, Smart Manufacturing & Automation, Automobile Electronics and many more. We have consulted major players in the industry such as Hyundai R&D, Robert Bosch and Ashok Leyland in designing our program to enable you to learn what the real world wants. And, as you emphasize on Industry 4.0 capabilities, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning and Python or MATLAB programming, you should be ready to excel in both mechanical and information technology areas.
The B.Tech Mechanical Engineering program is structured with a modern curriculum. To complete graduation, one must earn 170 credits. In the middle of the academic journey, you will be exposed to industrial visits and will have a chance to do internships for 6 months to 1 year at top manufacturing companies.
Yes, there are 7 industry-leading specialisations in the mechanical engineering branch:
B.Tech program in Mechanical engineering at K L University has four varieties of flexible learning options depending on student preferences which means that you can customize your degree:
This is the regular program and a student earns a B.Tech Degree (in Mechanical Engineering) in course when he/she completes the program with a minimum of 170 credits.
When you consistently maintain a CGPA of 8.5 or above till the fourth semester, then you will be eligible for B.Tech Degree with Honours. This demands gaining an excess 20 credits by pursuing additional advanced courses.
The department of Mechanical Engineering offers 7 specializations, which you can do anything of your interest. At the end you will be graduated with a specialization, which will give a competitive edge in the particular field.
You can also get a B.Tech Degree with a minor by successfully taking up the 20 extra credits. It is also done by taking courses that are offered as part of the professional core in another department so you are able to gain interdisciplinary knowledge.
The department actively supports various student associations and professional societies that serve as vital platforms for extracurricular learning and development:
1. Mechanical Engineering Students Association (MESA):
This is the main student body in the department which enables students to gather and take part in various events both technical as well as non-technical. The MESA serves as an essential source to make students meet with other department students and give them exposure and social contacts that add colour to the student life and also gives them a stand regarding leadership and the attitude of camaraderie.
2. SAE Club (Society of Automotive Engineers):
Being a part of this club opens up opportunities to organise events, participate in activities, and gain valuable leadership experience. Members get access to key resources in mobility technology, including guest lectures, seminars, and symposiums on topics like autonomous vehicles, electric vehicles, engine technology, and aerospace applications.
3. ASME Club (American Society of Mechanical Engineers):
The ASME Club encourages collaboration, knowledge sharing, skill-building, and career enhancement across engineering disciplines. It’s a platform where the global engineering community comes together to discuss, innovate, and develop solutions that improve quality of life.
4. ISHRAE Professional Society (Indian Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers):
The department is also affiliated with ISHRAE student and faculty chapters, offering specialised learning and networking in Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVAC&R) technologies.
Beyond professional societies, there are several dedicated technical clubs and innovation centres that offer hands-on learning and skill development:
This is an inclusive team comprising six different vehicle design and development groups. These teams are made up of passionate, engineering-driven students who love cars and innovation.
