Programmes Section
Students in the B. Tech in Mechanical Engineering program learn a wide range of subjects and skills throughout their education, combining theoretical knowledge with practical applications. Our Bachelor of Technology program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive education in engineering, preparing them for a successful career in the field of Mechanical Engineering.
A mechanical engineering student undertakes a comprehensive education that combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications. The curriculum includes core subjects such as mathematics, physics, materials science, engineering mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics.
Design and manufacturing, control systems, mechatronics, learning to use computational methods like numerical analysis, finite element analysis (FEA), and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are also part of the curriculum.
Specialized and elective courses cover fields like automotive engineering, aerospace engineering, renewable energy, and advanced manufacturing techniques. Practical skills are imparted through workshops, laboratories, and various projects. Additionally, students develop professional skills in engineering ethics, communication and project management, and gain proficiency in software tools such as CAD (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD), simulation software (e.g., ANSYS, MATLAB), and programming languages (e.g., Python, C/C++).
Students of mechanical engineering and introduced to machine learning techniques and fundamentals artificial intelligence as part of their curriculum. Real-world experience is acquired through internships, industrial training, add on and value added courses and cooperative education programs, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared to tackle engineering challenges across diverse industries.
