INTRODUCTION
The Department of Mechanical Engineering has experienced well qualified, dedicated faculty, state-of-art laboratories and workshops. To keep the faculty abreast with latest technology in the field they are encouraged to attend seminars, workshops, short term courses, conferences etc. and to present their research work at important conferences. The infrastructure is updated on regular basis.

Our aim is to become NBA accredited department contributing significantly to the advancement of Society. Our Mission is to mould youth into world-class technocrats of tomorrow who would endeavor to increase the quality of life for human kind. We are committed to ensure & continually improve a healthy learning environment and facilities for students to achieve academic excellence for employability as professional engineers. Our Objectives is to serve as model for education in technology by innovating teaching methods that create a learning environment, to make students aware of environmental and energy conservation concerns of the planet, and to cultivate entrepreneurship spirit in students.

The Department provides congenial environment both to the students and the faculty for enhancing their professional competency and technical proficiency.

HOD Profile

Words from HOD
As per the requirements of the industry and the corporate sector an engineer is required to present the facts and the contents in the most logical manner. Apart from this, a confident personality can lead a group and is able to face any situation at corporate level. In order to inculcate such traits in our students the Department arranges seminars and invites eminent persons for expert talks. All these activities not only sharpen their technical skills but also help in developing their generic skills.

Traditionally mechanical engineers deal with the design, development, production and maintenance of all kinds of machines and their usage. With fast changing technology certain changes are essential for mechanical engineers. Considering these aspects we aim at training the students to adapt themselves to the fast changing technology. The department has competent faculty. They cover all the areas of specialization in mechanical engineering. The department emphasizes understanding of basic concepts. It also makes efforts to give adequate exposure to the students in the field of recent developments. For the past seven years, the department has witnessed tremendous expansion in terms of infrastructure and laboratory facilities. The laboratories give our students enhanced exposure to state of the art technology. Our aim is to provide a first class environment to our staff and students to work and thus providing appropriate service for the benefit of society at large.

I call upon the students to make best use of the resources. I wish the success and bright future to all the students of the department.
