The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers four year BTech course in Mechanical Engineering from the academic year 2020-21 onwards. The annual intake is 60 students. The academic focus of the department is to impart state of the art technical knowledge to the students. The department has well experienced faculty members with post graduate and doctoral qualifications from prestigious institutions with national and international publications. The Department Faculty members intend to actively pursue research through students and undertake projects funded through Govt. agencies. The department aims to become one of the best mechanical engineering departments in the country within the next decade, in preparing engineers capable of working innovatively and creatively towards a better world.


    The Department indents to strengthen its facilities and expertise in four domain areas: Thermal, Design, Manufacturing, and Industrial engineering. The faculty of the department have got rich experience in Thermal Engineering, Computational Combustion, CFD,  Aerospace Engineering,   Cryogenics, Robotics etc. The instructional laboratories with latest computational facilities will be provided for practical exposure and study all the areas of mechanical engineering.


   The students are exposed to problems faced by our society, will be engaged in outreach programmes and industry institute interactions, will be encouraged to participate in co-curricular activities and professional development activities beyond the regular academic work. As per the new curriculum, students can get Honours degree. They can also get a Minor degree in other most wanted areas such as Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics etc along with the regular BTech degree or Honours degree based on their interest. Department gives individual attention to each student and helps the student to mould himself/herself based on the talent and interest. Remedial measures are also taken for the needy students.

    4. Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.

    5. Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modelling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.

    6. The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.

    7. Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.

    8. Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.

    9. Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.

    10. Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.

    11. Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.

    12. Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.



    Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

    PEO 1: Graduates will excel in their professional career and research by applying the acquired knowledge in mechanical engineering by exhibiting the critical thinking and problem solving skills in engineering practices/tackling social and business challenges.
