Department of Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineers study the behavior of solids, liquids and gases when forces are applied to them and when they are heated and cooled. They learn how to convert energy efficiently from one form to another. Using these knowledge bases, mechanical engineers play key roles in the design of transportation systems, including automobiles and space vehicles; environmental control systems, including air conditioners and furnaces; manufacturing machinery and processes, including robots; energy conversion technology, including engines and power plants; biomedical devices; and the list goes on. This tremendous breadth in the scope of the mechanical engineering profession gives the mechanical engineer access to employment in every major industry imaginable.
Recently, the scope of mechanical engineering has been enlarged. There has been steady progress from simple machines to more complicated and advanced ones. Today, machines with extremely intelligent functions are popular. Therefore, the present age demands mechanical engineering specialists who have the capacity of adaptability and creativity in the new technical areas and have knowledge not only in their own specialized fields but also in wide interdisciplinary fields as well. To meet these demands, School of Mechanical Engineering is established in SMVD University from 2006-2007 academic session. The school is runs a B. Tech. (Mechanical Engineering) program since 2006 and M. Tech. (Manufacturing & Automation) program since 2008 academic session.
