Head's message
Welcome to the most versatile and exciting disciplines of engineering- Mechanical Engineering which is aptly known as Mother of All Branches.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering was started with an intake of 60 students in the year 2009, at the inception of the institute.
The engineering field requires an understanding of core concepts including mechanics, fluid mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, manufacturing methods, structural analysis and design of machine elements. Mechanical engineers use these core principles along with tools like computer-aided engineering and product life cycle management to design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices, and others.
Vision
To establish as one of the leading departments to produce responsible professionals with quality teaching, training and research.
Mission
- 01To disseminate strong subject knowledge with an emphasis on practical approach.
- 02To train the students to overcome the challenges they come across in their profession.
- 03To mould the students as true citizens with ethical values.
