About Department

The scope of Mechanical Engineering :

Mechanical Engineering is a branch of engineering and technology, which deals with the favorable application of the laws of nature in micro/macro level. In the micro level the effect of quanta of energy bundle prompts the development of new areas of study, such as the nuclear fission/fusion to the generation of electricity and power without disrupting the eco-system. Development of power from both conventional and non-conventional sources of nature breeds the Power Plants. Then, the macro level analysis creates the opportunity to study the material and its properties which leads to the science and art on designing prospects. For this reason, our faculties are imparting some fundamental knowledge to all students enrolling in engineering.

During the under graduate study we inculcate the basic fundamentals of engineering to ensure that a young brain could allow to understand any thing happening under this solar system.Hence, someone will visualize the breadth and length of Mechanical Engineering. After that, the Post Graduate (PG) study enables one to educate himself to unveil the secrets of natural laws in a particular area, so that it promotes a skilled professional. The Doctor in Philosophy (Ph D) in this branch opens a mindset to understand, analyze and answer the questions ‘How and Why’ in a particular focused area. In other words the in depth study starts only after graduation level, which aims to foster awareness among the budding technocrats, researchers and scientists.

The curriculum of this branch is designed and furnished by seeking the most recent trends to keep pace with international standard. The opportunity of up gradation and revision of curriculum by peer groups enables the engineering graduates of our branch to sustain in any situations in fast changing scenarios. For this reason, our department is recently accredited by the peers of AICTE team for 5 years from 2006. During last 5 decades, this branch produced high standard self motivated professionals (around 3500) of this land to serve the humanity both nationally and internationally at par excellence.

Scope of a Graduate Mechanical Engineering :

After being a graduate engineer in this stream the multifarious opportunities are likely to be explored for becoming a leading professional.

• Design and Thermal analysis of different componets, machines and power generators.
• Non-conventional Energy resources for development eco-friendly Power Plants.
• Nuclear Power, Thermal Power and Solar Power sectors.
• Metallurgy, Powder Metallurgy, and Nano-Technology.
• Aeronautics, Naval and Marine Engineering.
• Robotics, FMS, CIM and Non-conventional Machining.
• Simulation, Modeling and Control of different plants/processes/industries.
• Non destructive testing and Quality Control of high pressure vessels, Weldings etc
• Management in manufacturing, personnel, marketing, quality etc.
• Entrepreneurships development in Small, Medium and Large scale industries.
• Development of different software related to management/industrial/educational applications.
• Teaching and Research in various fields like heat, power, design, mechatronics etc.
