ABOUT MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
James Watt, the famous Scot and great scientist, who vastly improved the imperfect steam engine of his day, is also referred to as the Father of Mechanical Engineering and Father of the Steam Age. Mechanical Engineering begins when the Industrial Revolution begins. Because as human beings began to depend and look to machines to increase the work output and make production more efficient and reliable, the world of mechanical engineering opened up to incredible possibilities. The invention of the steam engine was monumental for the industrial revolution. James Watt is often coined the father of mechanical engineering because it was that particular invention that gave way tomany more important developments of the industrial revolution and beyond.
In 2009, the Department of Mechanical Engineering was founded. In the academic year 2009-2010, the department offers a BTech in mechanical engineering, and in the academic year 2014-2015, it offers an MTech in CAD/CAM. Our vision is to become a recognized center of excellence in mechanical engineering where research, teaching, and learning work together to provide scientific research and technical education for the advancement of humankind. Our goal is to produce professional mechanical engineers capable of functioning on a worldwide scale. To do this, we plan to establish a research center that conducts modern research in collaboration with industries. The goal of the projects and practical training is to encourage students to think like entrepreneurs and to provide some of them with the opportunity to start their own enterprises.
Members of the department's faculty are highly qualified and experienced professionals who are actively involved in research and regularly publish their findings in national and international journals. The department commonly organizes technical workshops to introduce professionals to new topics. Modern labs, a department library, and classrooms that facilitate e-learning are all part of the department's amenities. The department provides other departments with accessibility to its well-equipped, conveniently placed workshop. To improve the students' learning experiences, industry visits and guest lectures are organized on a regular basis. As we strive for our student's overall success, we encourage them to take part in all extracurricular activities.
