Department Of Mechanical Engineering

Overview

Department of Mechanical Engineering was started in the year 2006-07 with an intake of 60. The Department offers B.E in Mechanical Engineering, M.Tech in Industrial Automation and Robotics, VTU R&D centre for M.Sc(Engg) and Ph.D. The department has well qualified, experienced and committed faculty to provide quality industry tuned education to the students. The Department Infrastructure fulfills the requirements of academics, supports research and learning skills on the latest technology in the industry.

The students are molded with multi dimensional skill sets covering the entire required graduate attributes. The students of the department get into the industry through placement and internship. The department is supported by a large alumni group. Students are introduced to global challenges and encouraged to take up projects in this direction. The department library consists more than 1200 volumes which covers all latest reference books and text books
