Department of Mechanical Engineering



About

Flower

The department started the UG program B.E in Mechanical Engineering in the year 1997 with affiliation to Mysore University. The present intake is 60 and affiliated to VTU, Belgavi. The department also started M.Tech program in Master of Engineering Management under VTU in the year 2012 with intake of 24. Currently the department has got total faculty strength of 12 which includes 2 Professors and 10 Assistant Professors. Most of the faculty members have got rich academic background and imparting high quality education. Department encourages students to participate various extracurricular activities. Every year students and faculty attend national and international conferences to present their papers and publish their work in various national and international journals. The student teams have participated in several National competitions and won numerous prizes. Mechanical Engineering lay emphasis on Design, Materials, Manufacturing, Thermal Engineering, and interdisciplinary areas like CAD/CAM/CAE, Automation, Engineering management etc. Department regularly organizes conferences, seminars, workshops, industrial visits, soft and technical training, recruitment drives to the students. The department has well equipped mechanical labs, workshop, machine shop, Library, systems and related other infra structure to be used by the students and faculty.
