Mechanical Engineering Department
The department, right from the inception in 1951 has been offering undergraduate
and advanced studies under the three broad fields of applied mechanics and
engineering design, thermal sciences and energy systems, and manufacturing
processes and systems. The current areas include Bond graph and Computer Aided
Design techniques, Computer Aided Manufacturing, Flexible Manufacturing Systems
and Robotics, Intelligent Machines and Systems, Solid Modelling and Computer
Graphics, Application of Neural Networks, Systems Dynamic Simulation, Precision
Engineering Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning systems, Combustion Modelling
and Jet Impingement Heat Transfer. The sponsored projects include developing
Monodispersable Aerosols, Building Automation, Machining of Advanced Materials,
Environmental Friendly Grinding of Titanium Alloys using Cryogenic Cooling,
Development of Industrial Robots, Laser Material Processing Technology, Developing
Software or Dynamic Analysis and Condition Monitoring of Rotor etc.
