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.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers an undergraduate (U.G) degree in B.E. Mechanical Engineering. In addition, the department conducts value-added short-term courses in CAD/CAM and related areas, facilitated by experienced faculty members and industry experts. These programmes aim to enhance students’ technical proficiency and employability skills, preparing them for successful careers in the engineering sector.
To transform the students to become a competent Mechanical Engineer by inculcating the contemporary skills set for the industrial and research development, considering societal needs towards the betterment of mankind with professional ethics
Graduates of the Mechanical Engineering programme will:
1.Apply core Mechanical Engineering knowledge to design and manufacture innovative and socially relevant products.
2.Develop and implement eco-friendly mechanical systems by utilizing renewable energy sources.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering is supported by a team of highly qualified, experienced, and dedicated faculty members committed to academic excellence. Accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA), the department takes pride in its faculty who consistently strive to impart knowledge through effective teaching, research, and innovative practices.
Established in the year 1994, the department of mechanical engineering has excelled in its infrastructural facilities keeping pace with the latest development in technologies. A well established department library has a rich collection of technical books ranging from basics to higher level reference materials. Besides, the department library also has video technical CDs.techical magazine and journals related to mechanical engineering.
