About The Department

The Mechanical Engineering Department was established in 2009. The Department has always fostered an atmosphere conducive to the development of future engineers through the adoption of creative pedagogical approaches. Manufacturing Engineering, Design, Energy Engineering, and Thermal Engineering are the specific domains of expertise of the department's faculty members. The faculty members are doing research at highly esteemed universities and publishing their findings in academic journals. The department's infrastructure is fully developed, and it comprises eight laboratories that are suitable for classroom instruction, independent study, and group projects.

The Mechanical Engineering Student Association (Federation of Luminous Aspiring Mechanical Engineers-FLAME) runs career development programs for students in the department, enabling them to showcase their skills as engineers. Students are encouraged to present their research and innovations at regional, national, and international conferences and events. Guest speakers, workshops, seminars, symposia, career advising programs, etc. are often held to inspire students to take up higher education and research. Industry-related experience on real-world issues is gained through mandated industrial visits and internships. More than 800 students have graduated from this program.
