Mechanical Engineering

The department of Mechanical Engineering strives to train students in the mechanical engineering science as well as application of these scientific methods to conceive, organize and carry out scientific design of engineering system.

The department's professional programme includes a deeper study of a number of engineering sciences to which the students are introduced at the core curriculum level, experimental solution of physical problems, techniques and method of design of systems relevant to the contemporary industrial world.

The broad areas include Energy Conversion and Power Systems, Heat Transfer and Fluid Mechanics, Mechanics of Solids and Stress Analysis, Manufacturing Science, Industrial Engineering, Automatic Controls and Engineering Design. Laboratory experience is considered to be an important part of the mechanical engineering programme. There are course oriented laboratories where the students do experimental work leading to a better understanding of physical situations.

The department of Mechanical Engineering has Post-Graduate programmes leading to M.E. and Ph.D degrees in three broad streams: Solid Mechanics and Design, Thermal Sciences and Fluid Mechanics, and Manufacturing Sciences. Within these streams, new areas which are receiving vigorous attention are Computer Aided Design, Robotics and Non-Conventional Energy. In the Post-Graduate programme the emphasis is on the development of a broad background in a particular stream followed by a deeper study of a problem in the stream. The department is the Quality Improvement Programme Centre of the College for both M.E. and Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering.
