About the Department

The Department of Mechanical Engineering was established in 2005with an annual intake of 120 students in the undergraduate programme. The Department of Mechanical Engineering has state-of-the-art laboratories; these laboratories not only satisfy the curriculum requirements of the students very lucidly but also provide additional facilities to enhance the practical knowledge. The department consists of a team of well qualified teaching staff having Master degrees and Doctorates. The staff members of the Mechanical Department have taken up projects funded by external agencies like KSCST, VGST and VTU. The department received a grant of Rs. 5 Lakh in the year 2019 from VGST to carry out research on Advanced Materials in Green Energy. The Department also has a Research center approved by VTU. The students and staff can utilize the facilities towards their Master's and Doctoral Research Programmes. The UG students were motivated to take up interdepartmental projects to compete with present day technology advancements. Few of our staff members are pursuing their Ph.D in emerging areas which would benefit the student community. Most of our students are placed in reputed companies in India and abroad.
