The Department of Mechanical Engineering has experienced, well qualified and dedicated faculty. State-of-art laboratories and workshops form an integral part of the Department. The infrastructure is updated on regular basis. The Department provides congenial environment both to the students and the faculty for ushering their professional competency and technical
proficiency. To keep the faculty abreast with latest knowledge in the field they are encouraged to attend seminars, conferences etc. and to present their research work at important conferences. The Department plans to register itself with various leading technical societies. The department organized a national level conference on “Trends in Mechanical Engineering” (TIME-2008) on Feb 8th and Feb 9th 2008.
As per the requirements of the industry and the corporate sector an engineer is required to present the facts and the contents in the most logical manner. Apart from this, a confident personality can lead a group and is able to face any situation at corporate level. In order to inculcate such traits in our students the Department arranges seminars and invites eminent persons for expert talks. All these activities not only sharpen their technical skills but also help in building their morale. Another feature of the Department’s effort is the continuous development of the personality of the students by providing proficiency in soft skills.
