The four-year B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering programme offered by the Department of
Mechanical Engineering helps the students gain knowledge in the core dimensions of
manufacturing, mechanical systems, system dynamics and control, and transportation
systems.
The curriculum includes subjects such as calculus, differential equations, solid
mechanics, fuels and internal combustion engine, hydraulics and pneumatics, and
instrumentation and measurement among others. The students spend as much time in the
labs as they do in the classroom since this branch of engineering needs hands on skills
to be developed.
In the last two decades, mechanical engineering has evolved to also include increased
community-based projects handling to gain real life skills, and research work to develop
better machines and their functioning. The evolving areas of mechanical engineering
include robotics, cryogenics, and biomechanics.
