About the Department
The undergraduate mechanical engineering curriculum incorporates knowledge and experience in design, mathematics, modelling, computing, management and engineering science. Principal study topics include fluid mechanics, thermodynamics & heat transfer, solid mechanics, materials engineering, manufacturing, energy systems, dynamics & control, CAD and CIM.
The department conducts national and international conferences, Faculty Development Programs, guest lectures, workshops, industrial visits and value-added courses to enhance students’ technical skills. Mechanical engineers have a broad spectrum of opportunities in energy, oil & gas, manufacturing, steel, automotive, robotics and IT — across railways, armed forces, civil aviation and both private and government sectors.
Direction
To impart comprehensive knowledge that enables students to become innovative and successful entrepreneurs, learning the advanced fields of mechanical engineering that meet recent industrial demands and social needs.
To provide quality education enhancing skills to create, innovate and design systems on new technologies; to foster logical thinking for real-life design; and to equip students through a state-of-art learning environment of excellence, entrepreneurship and lifelong learning.
Goals
From the HoD
The Department of Mechanical Engineering has been consistently providing a creative, innovation-driven learning environment, mentorship and tools for building a strong foundation in the core engineering field. Traditional mechanical engineering knowledge is synthesized with hands-on fundamental activities to create future leaders. The department offers UG in Mechanical Engineering and PG in Industrial Engineering & Management, with laboratory and workshop facilities featuring modern sophisticated equipment.
The department has corporate training programs, industrial training and consultancy to its credit, benefiting students through good placements and industrial exposure. Faculty undergo industrial training through FDPs. MoUs are signed with industries such as Thermax Limited Pune for research, training and skills development.

Student Innovation
Industrial automation to design, develop and monitor an 'Automatic bottle filling system using PLC' with low operational cost and power consumption — uses a motion detector, PLC controller and DC-motor conveyor with ladder-logic programming. Boosts productivity for small-scale industries under Make in India.
A user-friendly PLC-based system that automates producing colours of different shades in specific ratios via HMI, improving efficiency, productivity and consistency while eliminating human error in colour mixing.
A cost-effective, sustainable filtration system with a reservoir tank, PLC-controlled pump, solenoid valves and multi-layer micro filters (sand, pebbles, membranes). Treats industrial effluent for recycling and can be adapted for domestic wastewater.
A cost-effective 3D printer for prototype fabrication with minimal material — additive manufacturing building successive layers from a digital design, widely used in medical, aerospace and aviation for precision components and implants.
Explores cheaper go-kart manufacturing to widen outreach to tier-3 towns — conventional engine replaceable by bio-fuel or hybrid engine to lower running cost and cut pollution.
A reliable, economical solar-electric car for daily commute running on renewable solar energy — noiseless, pollution-free, using photovoltaic cells for zero emissions with minimum maintenance.
An alternate solution to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions — 100% eco-friendly electric vehicle emitting no toxic gases, smoke or noise pollution.
A geared-cycle machine that transmits a rider's cycling effort to propel across water at five speeds, collecting floating garbage via hand-controlled baskets and a perforated tray. Simple, cost-effective and eco-friendly lake cleaning.
A compact off-road ATV with tight turning radius, maximum ground clearance and cutting brakes — capable of reaching remote uneven terrain, also usable as a miniature tractor for cultivation.
A high-speed single-seat, open-cockpit, open-wheel racing car built from carbon-fiber composites and ultra-lightweight materials, based on aerodynamics and material sciences fundamentals.
