DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

About Department

The first-degree course in Mechanical Engineering was started in June, 2010. Moving through a few years, the Department of Mechanical Engineering consolidated to its present condition offering 8-Semester Undergraduate Courses with an approximate intake of 140 students annually. The Department provides ample laboratory facilities and hands-on training to the Undergraduate students both in the conventional subject and in the emerging fields of specialization. The department has obtained research grants from various funding agencies, organized National Conferences, Conducted Guest Lectures, Seminars, and Workshop. The department has Research and Development Center (3D printing laboratory, PTC, Welding Research laboratory and an exclusive lab for Automobile Engineering.) and Center of Excellence with Industry. The department has signed MOU with PTC to enrich skills in design aspects and offers special language courses (Japanese etc.). The department has received funds from research funding agencies such as CSIR, ICMR, TNSCST etc. The department shows great progress in research through publication of handsome number of patents and papers in international journals. Our team of faculties along with the support of the principal and our Chairman Dr.K.Ramakrishnan successfully conducted two multidisciplinary International Conference iConnect 2K17, iConnect 2K18 and ICONEEA 2K19 in a grand manner by publishing the papers in reputed journal such as Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics (Thomson Reuters Indexed), Journal of Surface Science and Technology, Materials today proceedings (Scopus Indexed) and Journal of New Materials for Electrochemical Systems (Annexure I and Scopus Indexed).
