Mechanical engineering, the broadest of all Engineering disciplines deals with design and production of tools, machines and all other mechanical equipment to be used in industries. The industry offers a wide choice of options extending across many interdisciplinary interdependent specialties. Mechanical engineering is concerned with all types of machinery in industries and all aspects of their mechanism and functioning; the design, development, construction, production, installation, operation and maintenance; such as large steam and gas turbines, components of thermal power stations, internal combustion engines, jet engines, machine tools, air conditioning and heating machines, refrigerators etc to name a few. They not only design and create new products, but also develop materials for them and ways of making them.
In a way, mechanical engineers are involved in creating the future. 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. The work of a Mechanical Engineer can be extremely challenging and fulfilling, requiring IT, design and analytical skills together with an ability to work as a team. As their work involves production, transmission and use of mechanical power and heat, they have to analyze the different materials used for the machines and their tolerances; investigate the different energy sources and the power they generate and the design problems if any. When designing and making a commercial product they have to take into account all the business and marketing aspects to make sure that the product is affordable. They share interests with many other engineers like 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. They work as part of a team with other engineers as well as financial, business and management professionals on a project together. Mechanical Engineers are also responsible for maintenance and repair of the devices. Care has to be taken that the plants give maximum output and the machinery is properly maintained.
The specializations include in areas like thermal engineering, design, and production engineering etc. Mechanical engineers work mainly in manufacturing firms. They can find work in administrative and managerial positions in government departments or public and private sector industries or do research as well as teaching in Research and teaching institutes. They could also opt for technical sales / marketing or work as independent consultants.
Vision
To enable the students to identify and build on their abilities with firm and focused minds and develop a spirit of professionalism to perform in advance technology & competitive Global Environment
Mission
To help in creating knowledge based society with a scientific temper, team spirit and dignity of labour. Further, to create an environment where learning is a joy
Teaching Metholodogy
A wide selection of projects, seminars and training facilities besides technical visits to industrial enterprises generates enormous potential and confidence among the students enabling them to independently handle the life size problems in their engineering careers. The training and project work by the students are the major thrust areas. Concerted effort is made to find out the suitable industry for the purpose of training. Students are encouraged to take up project with greater applications in the field. The focus has been to synergize the project work and the industrial training.
Applied Research is our prime focus. Development and growth of faculty is given special attention. Faculty is encouraged and sponsored for higher studies and sent for participation in seminar.
Students are evaluated on the basis of following methods:
Class Room Teaching
Tutorials
Quiz
Projects
Seminars
Group Discussion
Industrial Visits & Tours
It follows semester end examination which includes theory & practicals.
