Department of Mechanical Engineering

The Department of Mechanical Engineering was established in 1994 by the Tamil Nadu Educational and Medical Trust, a Jain Minority Trust, with the primary objective of providing higher education to young students with a passion for engineering.

The Department has a team of highly qualified, experienced, and dedicated faculty members with expertise in various domains of Mechanical Engineering, both academic and industrial. All laboratories are well-equipped and are maintained as per Anna University norms, ensuring practical exposure and experiential learning for students.

Dedicated to nurturing competent professionals, the Department of Mechanical Engineering continually strives to provide state-of-the-art technology and learning facilities, emphasizing both theoretical and practical aspects of the discipline. The department’s unwavering dedication to academic excellence has translated into a proud tradition of university rank holders.

In addition to academics, the department places great importance on co-curricular and extracurricular activities. Industrial visits are organized regularly to expose students to current industrial practices. Seminars, guest lectures, workshops, and symposiums are conducted every semester to keep students abreast of emerging technological trends. Motivational and personality development programmes are also conducted to instil leadership qualities, teamwork, and professional ethics among students. The annual student technical symposium is celebrated as a major “technical festival” in the department. The department maintains a dynamic and vibrant environment by organizing technical events, training programmes, and workshops throughout the year to foster the continual growth of both faculty and students. Students are actively encouraged to participate in professional society activities (SAE), where they design and fabricate real-time all-terrain vehicles for national-level events such as BAJA, eBAJA, SUPRA, e-Bikes, and Go-Kart competitions.

A mentorship and counselling system is in place to monitor students’ attendance and academic progress, with class advisors and proctors providing guidance and support to ensure academic success.
