Undergraduate Program in Mechanical Engineering

About Department

The Department of Mechanical Engineering has been in existence since 2009. The Department has grown into a full-fledged one with well-equipped lab facilities, infrastructure and faculty members of various specializations. Activities in the department are carried out to consort the global innovations, inventions, alternate resource development in the mechanical world for the human mankind journey. The students are trained to upgrade themselves and the department is striving to mould them into a better engineer in the society. Individual attention and sessions have drawn out innate capabilities of the students.

The department also organizes frequent industry visits, subject related seminars, guest lectures, workshops etc. to enhance the depth of the subject. The Department of Mechanical Engineering provides a pavement to do research work and has been recognized as a research centre by Anna University. The Department is architected with 13 faculty members with 6 Ph.Ds' and 8 faculty members pursuing doctoral programmes. Research works are carried out in various fields including composites, machining, design, nanotechnology, coatings etc.
