MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

The department of mechanical engineering is the biggest department in our college, which offers four-year full time Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (B.E., Mech)and full time Master's degree in Thermal(M.E.,Thermal). The department has well experienced faculties with post graduation in engineering.The Department has well equipped library.

Training:

In addition to the laboratory and workshop practices during the session, all the students are taken to industrial visits to know the latest development in the field.

Assessment:

Students are examined at the end of each semester. The examination is being conducted by Anna University to which the college is affiliated and the same university awards the degree. The written examination answers are pooled at a common center and evaluated. The practical examinations are conducted with external examiners/internal examiners appointed by the Anna University.

Career Prospects:

This course is providing sound foundation in Mechanical Engineering in both theory and practice and the students will have excellent prospects to be employed in wide range of jobs. Automobiles, Railways, Airlines, Ship building industries and Repair industries, Manufacturing industries and various Government Organizations are some of the major employers of our graduates

CAD/CAM LABORATORY:



Our students are enlightened about the AutoCAD 2002 package. Through this lab, students are beaming with confidence and also train themselves in AutoCAD 2002 with various drawings and innovative designs. The concept of part programming and simulation is being imparted to the students using CNC Trainer lathe and CNC milling machines. The lab is well equipped with high configuration computers. Students are given exposure to 3D - modeling using the software packages like inventor, PROE, IDEAS, Mechanical Desk Top etc.,




DYNAMICS LABORATORY

To import wide knowledge on the concepts of force, temperature, torque, speed, strain, etc. measurement using appropriate devices for each. The concept of balancing, vibration, which is being used in our day-to-day life, is also verified experimentally.

List of Equipments:

• Stroboscope
• Gyroscope

Students association:

To cater the thirst of our students, they have formed an association 'ACME'05' (Mechanical Engineering Association). All the students are the members of this association. Organizing guest lectures, Quizzing, and Seminars under this association has led the students to understand the realities of the world.


• National level symposium is going to conduct for the benefit of the students.
• The association is going to inaugurate function.
