Mechanical Engineering is the discipline that applies the principles of engineering, physics and materials science for the design, analysis, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the design, production and operation of machinery.
The mechanical engineering field requires an understanding of core areas including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, structural analysis and electricity. Mechanical engineers use these core principles along with tools like computer-aided design and product lifecycle management to design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipments and machinery, heating and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics,medical devices, weapons and others.
If you’re interested in the design, development, installation, operation or maintenance of just about anything that has moveable parts then mechanical engineering could be the program of study for you. Our students build upon their knowledge of science and maths gained in school to learn about materials, solid and fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, control, product design and manufacturing processes. Courses on communication, business and other social-sciences along with the technical subjects are designed to groom students with well-rounded perspective as well as the ability and flexibility to work in a variety of settings. Practical learning is integrated into the curriculum through B.Tech projects by providing an opportunity for summer internship with National Universities and industry to solve Engineering and Scientific problems.
The broadness of the Mechanical Engineering degree offers a wide array of career possibilities. The key characteristics of the profession are its breadth, flexibility and individuality. The career path of mechanical engineers are largely determined by individual choices, a unique advantage in a dynamic world. Mechanical engineers are capable of working in a wide variety of industry sector. Mechanical Engineers are no longer confined to the traditional industries of aerospace, automotive and manufacturing, but are also employed extensively in important emerging areas such as nuclear technology, robotics, biomedical technology and energy systems. Furthermore, our students acquire valuable skills in creative thinking, critical analysis and teamwork, which are highly sought after in any engineering industry, consulting and management.
