About Department
Mechanical engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of physics and materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems. It involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design, production and operation of machines and tools. Major areas of mechanical engineering industry includes designing, manufacturing, heat transfers, energy conversion, solid mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, measurement mech.
Mechanical engineers use these core principles along with tools like computer-aided engineering and product lifecycle management to design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating & cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices and many more. In other words, mechanical engineers are involved in creating the future. They are the driving force behind many of our technologies and industrial processes including innovative products 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.

Our USPs
Mechanical engineering is the branch of engineering which deals with the design, manufacturing, maintenance and testing of machines. It is also considered as one of the most diverse and versatile disciplines of engineering. Mechanical engineering also includes the application of mechanics, material science, applied mathematics and physics. With the rise of modern technology, mechanical engineering has witnessed new found importance with more and more students opting to learn less explored domains of robotics, mechatronics, nanotechnology, etc.
Mechanical engineering deal with the concepts of mechanics, thermodynamics, robotics, kinematics, structural mechanics, fluid mechanics, power sector, refrigeration, air conditioning sector and aerospace. There is an immense scope of mechanical engineering now-a-days. Job prospects on offer for skilled engineer are plenty and unending. It is expanding beyond its boundaries and more of interdisciplinary in nature. This field of engineering is the broadest of all engineering fields. Candidates can find employment in both government as well as private sector. Mechanical engineers are required to design, test, manufacture, install, operate and maintain a wide array of machines and mechanical systems that are used in industries as well as domestic appliances. As the manufacturing industry becomes increasingly more advanced and sophisticated, India will need more innovative and talented mechanical engineers.
The scope of mechanical engineering is vast even today. These concepts are used in designing some of the best and most efficient state-of-the-art motor vehicles, manufacturing units, aircrafts as well as other industrial machinery. Apart from the machinery and vehicles, mechanical engineers significantly contribute towards the development of power equipment, engines and complex machinery systems. Not only the design and manufacturing, even the maintenance and testing of such machinery and equipment are considered as responsibilities of mechanical engineers.
