Department of Mechanical Engineering

Overview

Mechanical Engineering is considered to be one of the most diverse and versatile of the engineering disciplines. Mechanical Engineering contributes to modern standard of living and almost all products of modern life have contributions from mechanical engineers. The faculty members in the department are actively involved in academic and sponsored research to solve various fundamental as well as applied problems.

We are offering programs at different levels namely B.E. (Mechanical Engineering), M.E. (Design Engineering) and Ph.D. The objective of these programs is to create well trained, imaginative and research focused workforce for the country. An emphasis is laid on inculcating the high order research and thinking skills in the students. The department make efforts to continuously enhance teaching-learning environment through using best practices and innovations in pedagogy.
