About Department:
The Mechanical Engineering Department started with the inception of the college in
the year 1996. The department offers Undergraduate and Research Programs. The
Mechanical Department has been approved as a Research Centre by Visvesvaraya
Technological University, Belgaum to offer Ph.D. programs in the year 2014. It has
well-equipped Laboratories with state-of-the-art types of equipment and
infrastructure facilities in thrust areas. The department has a total investment of
Rs.1.3 crores. The mission of the department is to educate students to become
globally competent. The Department of Mechanical Engineering shares the vision and
mission of the institution in imparting quality education to the students.
The department has an intake of 60 and a total strength of 140 students. The
mentorship concept is introduced in the department to monitor their performance and
guide them effectively through periodic counselling. The students of the department
are well-placed in industries and have established themselves as successful engineers
for many years. Apart from the achievement in the academic performance the
students of our department have presented papers in various National level
competitions and brought laurels to the college by winning the awards. Several
students’ projects have won National/State/Intercollegiate awards for their projects in
competitions held at different organizations. Students have also qualified for many
national-level examinations such as GATE and are very well placed in National and
Multi-national companies. Some of them have pursued higher studies in India and
abroad. Mechanical Department students visited many Industries for industry
orientation. All students undertook internship training in reputed companies. Students
participated in various sports & cultural activities together with some important
technical events. The department alumni students are extending guidance and support
in guest lectures and placement. The department has a committed, highly experienced
and motivated team of faculty members. All the staff members are postgraduate and
have been serving in the institute for more than ten years. Many faculties of the
department are undergoing Doctoral programs. Faculty members regularly attend
technical seminars and workshops organized by various technical institutes, and
many of them have presented papers at National and International conferences and
seminars. An association of Mechanical Engineering students and staff has been
constituted in the department named AIMSS and is involved in arranging expert
lectures, and co-curricular and extracurricular activities.
The department received a grant of Rs. 60 Lakhs from VGST during the years 2022-
23, 2018-19, and 2013-14 for the research work. Also, the Department received 1.5
lakhs Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (UBA) Prime Minister Flagship program. One week
Short Term Training Programme was organized by the department on the topic
“Computational Fluid Dynamics” sponsored by ISTE-SRM, New Delhi with a grant
of Rs. 1 lakh in the same year. Several students’ projects have been funded by
KSCST, ISSRD, VGST and other private bodies in the region. The Department of
Mechanical Engineering has MOUs with 05 leading & reputed industries of
Karnataka & Maharashtra states. The department has a professional body membership
with ISTE and arranges the activities under the banner of ISTE. The department has a
well-stocked library with 2000+ text and reference books for the students and staff
fraternity.
Career Prospects
Mechanical engineers provide efficient solutions to the development of processes and
products, ranging from small component designs to extremely large plants, machinery
or vehicles. They can work on all stages of a product, from research and development
to design and manufacture, through to installation and final commissioning.
Most industries rely on a form of mechanical systems and mechanical engineering is
thought to be one of the most diverse of all engineering disciplines. The Mechanical
Engineers work on recent Technologies such as EV, AI & ML, Robotics, and
Mechatronics. There are employment opportunities also available in a wide range of
sectors, such as Manufacturing, Automobile Power, Construction, etc. Mechanical
engineers can also be involved in the management of people and resources, as well as
the development and use of new materials and technologies.
