Department of Mechanical Engineering

Department of Mechanical Engineering

The Department of Mechanical Engineering was established in 1956 with the inception of the Institute to cater to undergraduate education in the field of Mechanical Engineering. It aims to produce quality professionals in Mechanical Engineering to compete globally and excel by carrying out basic and applied research in emerging areas by forging strong industry-institute interaction. Since the Institute became a deemed university in 1985 the department has increasingly focused on post graduate education and research.

The Department offers undergraduate program leading to B.E. Mechanical Engineering, Postgraduate programs leading to M.E. (CAD/CAM & Robotics), M.E. (Production & Industrial Engineering), M.E. (Thermal Engineering), Part Time M.E. program in Production and Industrial Engineering and Doctoral program leading to PhD Degree. In January 2008, the under graduate program of Mechanical Engineering Department has been accredited for 5 years by NBA.

Vision

To be among the first ten departments in the country for higher technical education of global standards in Mechanical Engineering and allied disciplines.

Mission of the Department

To deliver world-class, outcome based research-led education to undergraduate and graduate students.To conduct high quality research driven by industry and society needs that generates new knowledge, innovations, discoveries and affordable engineering solutions.To be dynamic, innovative and flexible in devising programs, structures and mechanisms to cope with the changes.To ensure the students are equipped with academic, corporate and entrepreneurial leadership, communication skills and global awareness required by the engineering profession and society in general.To establish an environment that encourages and builds an exemplary degree of citizenship, professional and personal integrity and ethical behavior.
