Mechanical Engg.
Mechanical engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of physics and materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design, production, and operation of machines and tools. It is one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines. It has always been in the modern world, Mechanical Engineering continues to remain central to many activities that lead to the creation of industrial and business wealth. Two main applications are energy conservation and conversion, and transportation. A mechanical engineering course provides the core knowledge for a range of careers in these areas. Mechanical Engineering is rightly recognized as the mother of engineering. The benefit of this fundamental role is that the subject provides a wide choice of career opportunities in industries as diverse as food, pharmaceuticals, energy, petro – chemical industries, and environmental protection & conservation. This course is planned to train the students both in theory and practical work in the following areas of Mechanical Engg.: Machine Design, Stress Analysis, Theory of Machines, Measurements and Automatic Control, Thermodynamics, Thermal Machines, Power Plant Engineering, Manufacturing Processes, Production Engineering, Industrial Engineering. The students are given normal workshop training to familiarize them with the working of machine tools found in industry. They are also given project problems covering design, fabrication, testing, manufacturing aspects thus giving them opportunities to develop their capabilities to solve practical problems through the use of computers.
