DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Department of Mechanical Engineering is accredited by National Board of Accreditation New Delhi. Mechanical Engineering involves the application of principles of physics for analysis, design, manufacture, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It also involves clear understanding of key concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics and energy. Practitioners of mechanical engineering use these principles and others in the design and analysis of automobiles, aircraft, heating & cooling systems, manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, and more. The assets of the department are it’s well experienced faculties, modern laboratory/equipments, state of art machines, CAD/CAM & Robotics lab etc, Students undergo rigorous theory & practical sessions and are allowed to work independently on plant machineries & CAD/CAM software etc. which creates a touch of an industrial environment within the institute itself & generates a high level of confidence among our students. Department organizes interactive & practical based learning which includes Inter & intra departmental technical activities, Seminars, Guest lecturers, Industrial visits, Workshops etc. to build up the personality of the students.

Dr. Pulivarti Srinivasa Rao

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR & H.O.D.

The aim of department of Mechanical Engineering is to disseminate knowledge and technologies through quality teaching, research and its applications in mechanical and allied disciplines. In our creative and attractive curriculum, we strive to assimilate the latest developments in mechanics, dynamics, thermo-fluid, energy, materials and manufacturing. Our Laboratories have been very well established not only to cover complete syllabus but to motivate students to learn beyond the syllabus which definitely develops complete knowledge of the subject both the practical and theoretical depth and develop skill sets of students to become promising engineers in future.The Department seeks to combine excellence in education and research with service to the industry. Our vision is to be recognized as an innovative and leading Mechanical Engineering Department.

As a head of Department, I hope the designed departmental activities for academics will continuously produce competent and successful Engineers. Most importantly, our Graduates continue to find employment, impress those who hire them and make a positive difference in their lives.
