DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

OVERVIEW

The Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME) was started from the beginning of the institution in 2012 with an intake of 60. The B-Tech in ME degree program follows the scheme and curriculum of ” Kerala Technical University” to which the College is affiliated. This course is 8 semesters according to AICTE standards.

The Department is supported by highly qualified, efficient and committed teachers. They are periodically delegated to attend conferences and various faculty development programs to keep abreast of the latest developments in the field of the Mechanical Engineering department. Faculty in the department use facilities such as Moodle and other combined teaching and learning aids to improve the quality of teaching and learning. Faculty members and students are also active participants in NPTEL’s online courses with many accolades. Our emphasis is on putting theoretical knowledge to practical use which leads to the development of highly efficient engineers. We have the ME student association known as “AMECH”. The department is constantly striving to improve students’ knowledge, skills and attitude and many value-added programs such as lectures, workshops, technical questionnaires, project exhibitions, design competitions, job presentations, personality development courses, etc. to facilitate this.

Our graduates are in high demand by industry and often promoted quickly to senior positions around the world. A degree in Mechanical Engineering is ideal preparation for starting a career in the Automotive, Aerospace, Automation, Thermal, Process, Medical and Marine industries, or other areas such as accountancy. Many of our graduates go on to careers that make an important contribution to society in terms of wealth generation, safety and environmental sustainability.
