Salient Features of the Department

Mechanical Engineering happens to be the back bone of any industry with amazing versatility. The department of Mechanical Engineering strives to train students in mechanical engineering as well as application of these engineering methods to conceive, organize and carry out scientific design of engineering system. The department has well-equipped labs to impart sound practical knowledge of the subject and is mainly supported by Applied Mechanics which caters subjects like, Strength of Materials, Fluid Mechanics, Dynamics of Machinery, Engineering Mechanics & drawing. It is also backed by the Central Workshop facilities for providing hands-on training in the conventional machining and other traditional trades like Smithy, Welding, Fitting, Carpentry, and CNC. To motivate the students the department provides innovative ideas in the recent fields of Mechanical engineering by conducting training in hardware, arranges workshop, Seminars, Guest Lectures and Industrial visits and National Level Technical Symposium.
