Post Graduate(PG)-Mechanical Engineering

Started in 1999 with an U.G. program, Post Graduate Masters Degree programme in Design Engineering was added in 2014. During the academic session 2015-16, our department received Research Centre status from University. Mechanical Engineering is the oldest, broadest and core engineering discipline. With a right blend of theory and practice in basics,the students are trained to have knowledge not only in their own technical field but also in wide interdisciplinary fields and ethics as well.   

 

Dr. Mrs. Namrata V. Lotia,
Head of the Department

Salient Features of the department:

  • Well-equipped state of art labs and complete infrastructure facilities. 
  • Rich team of well qualified, dedicated, highly competent faculties with specializations in diverse areas of Mechanical Engineering having an average teaching / industrial experience of 15 years & most of them pursuing Ph.D.
  • We take a holistic approach of students development  giving them exposure to the competitive industrial environment with different activities regularly planned throughout the year, like Student’s association ‘MESA’ & SAE (India) students’ chapter are made to inculcate event management & entrepreneurial skills amongst the students.
  • ISHRAE Student’s chapter was formed to create awareness in HVAC thereby opening new opportunities. 
  • Students attended ACREX-2016 (world fair) in Mumbai and participated in Job Junction for placement in renowned core companies.    
  • Regular Events are organized by the department: In Oct 2015 – 2 week STTP on ‘Sustainable and Renewable Energy’, In Jan 2015 -‘Tech Saga-2K15’, In 2014 - First International Conference on ‘Advances in Engineering and Technology’ ‘ICAET-2014’, In 2013, ‘Radiance 2013’ work shop on “Automotive Power Train Engineering” in association with IIT Bombay & Experts Hub, In 2012 - ‘NCAET-2012’ National Conference on Advances in Engineering and Technology and many more.
  • In addition to classroom teaching, our learning methods include holding, seminars, expert lectures and industry based projects.
  • Regular training workshops of other relevant topics other than curriculum like Auto Cad, ANSYS are held.  
  • Industrial tour in Jan 2016 to Delhi, Gurgaon and Chandigarh to Subros, Hero Motor Corp. Ltd. Regular industrial visits to various local industries and authorized service stations of Tata, Mahindra, Ford, Hero and Honda were undertaken to augment their practical knowledge as well as to acquaint them with the latest in technology and industrial environment.
  • ‘Parent-Teacher’s meet’ is organized regularly to interact, update parents and also to felicitate parents of meritorious students.
 
Our Alumni hold key positions in companies across the world such as MSEB, Maruti Suzuki, Ashok Leyland, Tata Technologies, Siemens, KPMG, Reliance Logistics Ltd., Cadbury India Ltd, and many more.
 
Our endeavours have resulted in producing excellent students with good University Ranking, high-quality placements catering to the needs of Indian and multinational industries.
 

Programme Outcome

The following twelve POs (Program Outcomes) for an Engineering graduate as defined by NBA are as follows:

  1. Engineering Knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
  2. Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyse complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences.
  3. Design/Development of Solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
  4. Conduct Investigations of Complex Problems: Conduct Investigations of Complex Problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions for complex problems:
    • that cannot be solved by straightforward application of knowledge, theories and techniques applicable to the engineering discipline as against problems given at the end of chapters in a typical text book that can be solved using simple engineering theories and techniques,
    • that may not have a unique solution. For example, a design problem can be solved in many ways and lead to multiple possible solutions;
    • that require consideration of appropriate constraints / requirements not explicitly given in the problem statement such as cost, power requirement, durability, product life, etc.;
    • which need to be defined (modelled) within appropriate mathematical framework; and
    • that often require use of modern computational concepts and tools, for example, in the design of an antenna or a DSP filter.
  5. Modern Tool Usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modelling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations
  6. The Engineer and Society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice
  7. Environment and Sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development
  8. Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.
  9. Individual and Team Work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
  10. Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
  11. Project Management and Finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
  12. Life-long Learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and lifelong learning in the broadest context of technological change.
