Mechanical Engineering department commenced offering UG programme (Mechanical Engineering) in 2008 with an initial intake of 60 students, which was enhanced to 120. Department achieved permanent affiliation status from Anna University since 2018. One fifth of the faculty members are Ph.D holders. The department has requisite number of faculty members, striving to incorporate excellence in theory, practice and research.
Mechanical engineering is the discipline that applies the principles of engineering, physics, and materials science for the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the design, production, and operation of machinery. It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering disciplines.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers a curriculum that combines a foundation in mathematics and science and a core of engineering science and mechanics based courses with the creative processes of engineering design and supports student groups engaged in design-intensive and entrepreneurial extracurricular activities. The program integrates individual mastery of core subjects in fluid mechanics, thermal engineering, mechanical systems, and solid mechanics with teamwork-based solutions to open-ended design problems, real-world experiences, and experimental techniques. Students learn the skills to develop ideas from concept to product. The department has laboratory and workshop facilities with modern sophisticated equipment, which makes the students flourish well in accomplishing the future challenges.
