Departmental FAQs

The department of Mechanical engineering was established in year 2003.
Total batches which are successfully passed out are 15 in Mechanical Engineering since inception
More than 1800 students have been successfully graduated since the inception of the department.
The college has introduced various awards like highest marks in particular subject, branch toppers etc. to motivate the meritorious students. These awards are distrusted amongst students during convocation.
Mechanical Engineers design, operate and maintain machines, components, machine tools, manufacturing systems and processes, components of thermal power stations, solar energy, air conditioning and refrigeration and industrial engineering. They are involved in both the fundamental and applied aspects of these areas.
Career options for aspiring mechanical engineers: Most mechanical engineering jobs require design experience. When a need comes about for a new or improved product, companies call upon mechanical engineers to do the job. Engineers have to push beyond the limits of their previous work and use innovative technology to meet project requirements successfully.
A second major area of employment for mechanical engineers is manufacturing. Manufacturing jobs cover nearly everything involved in developing a product, from selecting the appropriate materials to choosing the correct machinery to manufacture the product. Most mechanical engineers in this industry work for equipment manufacturers, aerospace companies, utilities, material processing plants, transportation companies, and petroleum companies. They also work with small firms, consulting practices, universities, and government research labs. Some mechanical engineering titles and their functions include:
  • Automotive engineer: Mechanical engineers design many car parts for the automobile industry. As an automotive engineer, you could solve transportation and safety problems by creating better and more efficient engines or by developing improved safety features
  • Biomedical engineer: Mechanical engineers work with a variety of medical professionals to design mobility aids, prosthetics, and artificial organs.
  • Consulting: Once mechanical engineers have gained significant on-the-job experience and developed a high level of expertise, they might choose to work for themselves as consultants or independent contractors. Here they can work on projects of their choosing for clients they respect. The consulting field offers opportunities in large and small engineering service firms and in private practice.
  • Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) engineer: In this field, engineers design refrigeration systems for making frozen foods, or air-conditioning and heating systems for businesses and industrial buildings, residential homes, autos, hospitals, and schools.
  • Nuclear engineer: The design of nuclear power plants requires the services of a mechanical engineer. The engineer must understand the fundamentals of nuclear design, know how to operate the plant efficiently, and evaluate the environmental factors associated with nuclear plants.
  • Robotics engineer: A mechanical engineer may design machines that build other machines. For instance, a robotics engineer may be involved with creating the devices that are used in assembling automobiles. Engineers are concerned with the robot's structure, its joint mechanisms, bearings, and heat transfer characteristics.
  • Teaching: A desire to help mold the next generation of engineers motivates some mechanical engineers to move into academic careers. Engineers in colleges oversee research activities, manage laboratories, and mentor students. They also write and publish books and technical papers about mechanical engineering.

The Mentor - Mentee System
The process of mentoring at the department of Mechanical Engineering involves counselling and guidance of students for a bright career.
Through the process, it is ensured that every student has a friend, a counsellor and a confidante within the college campus, in form of a mentor. A mentor is considered to be a knowledgeable and experienced guide, a trusted ally and advocate, and a caring role model. The practice is aimed at fostering a better rapport between the mentee students and the mentor at a personal level.
The objectives of a Mentor are as follows:
  • To establish a positive, personal relationship with their mentee(s)
  • To assist mentees in accessing academic and university resources
  • To help their mentees to develop academic and life skills
  • To help to identify career paths for mentees and support their personal growth.
  • To help students to identify and pursue opportunities for employment related to their specialization.
The students are divided into 4 categories according their performance in previous semesters. A group is then formed taking 1 each (preferably) from each category. The group then choose leader among themselves. The students are also provided with list of project titles offered by faculty members of the department.
The students then select their guide. They are free to choose either the topic provided by the faculty member (Guide) or their own topic (decided by discussion among themselves).
After selection of Guide and Topic they present their Project titles to get it validated from Project Assessment Committee comprising of Research Heads of various research group and project coordinator(s).
Our department encourages students to attend seminar/conferences or to publish research papers. For this purpose, various incentive policies are introduced for students like reimbursement of registration fee,TA/DA, publication fee.
The department of Mechanical addresses various issues faced by the students.Students can share their academic and other miscellaneous problems with mentors, class coordinators and Discipline committee members and can seek the best advice. It is insured that at the end the student is satisfied and happy.
