MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
Mechanical engineering is an engineering branch that combines engineering physics and mathematics principles with materials science, to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems.[1] It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering branches.
Mechanical engineering is a four-year BTech programme that teaches the students the basic understanding and knowledge of how heavy tools and machinery work. A student pursuing a mechanical engineering programme will acquire knowledge about designing automobiles, electric motors, aircraft and other heavy vehicles. Mechanical engineers design everything from new batteries, athletic equipment to medical devices and from personal computers, air conditioners, automobile engines to electric power plants. These engineers also design machines that produce these innovations. The scope of mechanical engineering in India and abroad is huge for every aspect of our lives are touched by mechanical engineering in one way or the other. Spanning multiple industries, the career opportunities for students pursuing the programme is huge.
Mechanical engineering is offered by various engineering colleges in India at the undergraduate as well postgraduate levels, where students are awarded BTech and MTech degrees respectively.
About Department
