About ME Department

Mechanical Engineering continues to be a core branch of engineering for decades and run under the guidance of  Mr. Sanjay Kumar Jha. During these decades, Mechanical engineering has strengthened itself with latest technologies and innovations. It has always been an ‘Evergreen Branch’ which offers numerous job opportunities to students in all the industrial segments. Because of Globalization and relaxation in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policies, India is becoming industrial hub with the result that Indian youth has lot of scope to be absorbed in technical jobs. Mechanical engineering jobs are considered to be most stable jobs in corporate world.

Our programme prepares students to become top-notch Mechanical engineers with thorough knowledge both in theory as well as
practical skills. The program is initially broad based and specializes in the later years. The programme enables students just coming out of schools to acquire very good technical knowledge and hence guide them to the ‘Road of Success’.

Department is equipped with all the laboratories with modern equipments. Department has state-of-the-art CAD/CAM lab, CNC machines and a very well set workshop with all the facilities. The department is self contained in every respect and also has a seminar hall with multimedia teaching aids.

Industry wise Career in Mechanical Engineering

• Mechanical Engineering is a core branch of Engineering and finds extensive applications in all fields of Engineering and Technology. With rapid growth and expansion in the Industrial sector, the employment potential for Mechanical engineers is very high.

• Need for Mechanical Engineers exists across almost all Industry segments. They are needed in Automobile, Aeronautical, Steel Plants, Petrochemical , Space Research and a host of others.

• One sector where there is huge potential in the coming years is the Aeronautical sector. Industries are witnessing a significant surge in activity, in the form of orders for more aircrafts, larger budgets for defence and civil aviation, procurements made by government agencies, and a commensurate demand for services in the area of engineering, manufacturing and avionics.

• This opportunity is worth US $ 10 billion over the next five to ten years. NASSCOM estimates that the aerospace and defence technology outsourcing market in India will touch US $ 1 billion by 2009. Most of this growth will be in the area of specialized engineering.

• Job opportunities here fall within three broad areas –design, research, maintenance and operations. Design or engineering design is a knowledge services that delves into the design and structure of aircraft or machines. There is a lot of software work and ideation involved in addition to in depth knowledge about different systems and their functioning. Design offers one of the largest areas of growth.

• Manufacturing related jobs are where engineers are actively involved on the production site, whether it is an Industrial unit, a hangar or a docking facility. They work on the actual body of the machine.

• Third is the area of maintenance, repair or overhaul or simply MBO (maintenance, repair and overhaul). This is an area which will see huge growth in the future as large Industries that have been established earlier need to be working smoothly and in an optimized manner. For example Air India in collaboration with US Multinational Boeing is setting up an ambitious MBO facility.

• Most of the students at the B.Tech level get a generalist orientation. They would be advised to equip themselves with some domain training, which would enable them to select a faster growth trajectory in the Industry.

• For example, a good student could look to enter the Industry at a package of Rs. 3 -3.5 lakhs per annum. Within a span of ten years, depending on an average rate of growth, one could expect to get anywhere between Rs. 10 – 13 lakhs per annum.

Laboratories
States-of-art laboratories (lab) are available which can be classified as under:

Engineering Mechanics Lab: The purpose of the Laboratory is to study the mechanical behavior of the structure and machines using theoretical, numerical and experimental methods and to provide teaching on this subject. Mechanical behavior is understood here to imply the statics, dynamics and stability of both rigid and deformable objects.

Material Science & Testing Lab: It comprises of modern equipments such as metallurgical microscopes, muffle furnace, hydraulic press etc. Measurement & Metrology Lab The College has developed a wellequipped Measurements & Metrology lab with requisite equipments for carrying out the measurements. Equipments like slip gauge, sine bar, threaded micrometer, radius gauge, feeler gauge, bore gauge with dial indicator, vernier height gauge, bevel protractors etc. are also available.

Mechanics of Machines Lab: The lab has equipments for Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines. It comprises working and nonworking models along with all required apparatus. Automobile Engg. Lab This lab consists of the test rigs of engines to carry out various experiments on fuel efficiency, break power test etc.

Applied Thermodynamics Lab This lab consists of modem and sophisticated equipments. The experiments related with boilers, throttling calorimeter, condenser, turbine etc. are conducted on test rig. It is nothing but a mini steam power plant with 3 KW electricity generation capacities.

Fluid Mechanics and Fluid Machinery Lab: Fluid Mechanics Lab and Fluid Mechanics extension lab conduct courses and research Fluid Dynamics and Fluid Machinery. It provides facilities for undergraduate teaching, final year projects and for research work leading to postgraduate degrees. This lab consists of several experimental setups for verifying the basic laws of fluid mechanics and some flow measuring devices. This lab houses experimental setups of a pelton wheel and a kaplan turbine which facilitate the study and performance test of turbines. Experimental setups for several pumps also serve the same.

Heat and Mass Transfer Lab: This lab is one of the strong laboratories in Mechanical Engineering department. Students are able to know about all the modes of heat transfer while performing sessional classes. Determination of thermal conductivity by Steady-State method, Radiation Heat Transfer, Thermal Contact-Conductance, Heat Transfer from extended surface, Boiling Heat Transfer, Heat Transfer by Forced Convection etc. are some major fields where students perform their experiments.

Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Lab: Refrigeration and Air conditioning lab provide facility for undergraduate teaching in the field of Refrigeration and Air conditioning systems. The lab consists of several Refrigeration and Air conditioning systems like vapor compression, vapor absorption type refrigeration systems, capillary tubes, quick ice maker, deep freezer, window type air cooler, several air conditioning systems, cooling towers etc.

Manufacturing Science I & II Lab: Manufacturing Science Lab strives to provide a fundamental understanding of the basic physics of existing manufacturing process. The effects of manufacturing process on the mechanical, fatigue properties, surface quality and structural integrity of both engineering and engineered materials is recognised and studied in detail.

Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing lab: The Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing Lab oratory, in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, encompasses research in geometric and solid modeling, CAD/CAM, Computer aided process planning, solid freeform fabrication, computer graphics and visualization, virtual prototyping, and virtual reality.
