Mechanical Engineering is the most versatile and fundamental branch of Engineering comprising Production, Thermal and Design streams. Increasing competition, changing economic scenario and complex technological breakthrough has widened the scope of the Mechanical branch of engineering. Due to continued changes in technology manufacturing methodologies, the students learn and use state of the art machines and methodologies to keep pace with the modern world. The present economic librelisation, subsidies to the manufacturing and Agro based industries have given further boost to mechanical engineering.

The Mechanical Engineering department possesses the required infrastructure and the right expertise to impart training to students in the latest manufacturing technologies. We offer rigorous training to students with individual attention in laboratories, facilitate classroom discussions. Seminars, Industrial visits further continuous Industry- Institution interactions and have resulted in dramatic impact on the quality of students to face the challenges of future. We have conducted recently a National Conference FEM-08 successfully.

The Mechanical Engineering Department has been recognized recently as Research & Development centre by V T U from the academic year 2008-09. We are also hopeful of getting a PG centre from academic year 2008-09 in Thermal Engineering.

Laboratories:

All laboratories possess good quality and most advanced equipments with well trained and experienced staff.

Mechanical engineering is basic to any industrial activity and industrial sector in general. Mechanical engineers in

     i Production & Manufacturing Industries
     ii Agro based& Processing Industry
     iii Software Industry
     iv Foundry Industries

have good opportunities for employment and are very much sought after. The mechanical department has a team of highly qualified, experienced and dedicated faculty headed by Dr.Suneel Kumar N Kulkarni who has to his credit many National and International Publications. He has guided many UG, PG projects and many Doctoral aspirants.

The Department has obtained approval from AICTE for starting M.Tech. in Thermal Power Engineering from the academic year 2008-09.
