Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering is a diverse and fundamental branch of engineering that focuses on designing, analyzing, and manufacturing mechanical systems and devices to meet a wide range of human and industrial needs. Mechanical engineers apply principles of physics, mathematics, and material science to create solutions for problems related to machinery, energy systems, transportation, manufacturing processes, and more. This field plays a pivotal role in shaping the modern world, impacting areas from aerospace and robotics to renewable energy and healthcare, making it an indispensable discipline in the engineering landscape.

“Turning Imagination into Innovation, One Gear at a Time”

LABORATORIES

  • The students  willalso   study   thebasic principles  of  Finite Elements  Analysis and   perform stress  strain  analysis using Ansys   software  to   understand and quantify  the   effects of  real-world conditionson apart.
  • The simulations, will allow Diploma engineers  to  locate potential  problems  in a  design, including  areas   of  tension and   weak   spots.
  • FEA becomes  atremendous  productivity  tool,  helping engineers in   reducing product development   time and  cost. Hence,   FEA isintroducedin   this   course.

  1. The students are to betrained and equipped with adequate theoreticaland practical knowledge about Metal Cutting Phenomenon and various  processesliketurning, drilling,milling, grinding etc. Hence, thiscourseis introducedto providehands on experience on variousmachine tools usedin the manufacturing stream
  2. To providefoundation fordiploma engineerswho want tofurtherspecializein the field of precision manufacturing

  1. Knowledge about various manufacturing processes is essential. This  requires training the  students  in  casting and metal forming domain  so as to  equip them  with adequate  theoretical and practical knowledge about the various metal casting and forming processes like rolling, forging,  drawing,  extrusion, Sheet metal work etc.
  2. Hence this  course  is introduced to  provide hands  on experience on various manufacturing processes.

  1. Fluid power engineering involves study of properties of fluids, laws  governing     flow  of fluids, working principles of fluid  machineries and   knowledge    of  control of machine movements.
  2. This course allows the    students to develop the    knowledge   and  understanding of the    operational   requirements of fluid  power system and   be  able  to recognize     circuit components and   build  the    circuits for     applications  needed  in daily life.

  1. As in human beings’ mental ability is becoming more important than physical ability to do the manual work, similarly CNC programming in the same way has more importance along with selection and use of CNC tooling.
  2. In this course therefore an attempt has been made to develop skills required for programming, tooling etc for CNC machine. CNC machines normally are not limited to machine tools only but realm of CNC has widened in almost all areas of manufacturing, processes and support activities.

  1. The fundamental knowledge of Strength of Materials, Engineering Materials, and Computer Aided Design and Drafting is essential to meet job requirement in this sector.
  2. To enable a student to work here, they should know how to design a simple machine element, usual procedures in development of product, fundamental knowledge in design of simple machine elements such as shafts, springs, couplings etc, codes, norms, standards and guidelines for selection of appropriate material

  1. Industrial automation systems are used to control and monitor a process, machine or device in a computerized manner that usually fulfils repetitive functions or tasks.
  2. They are intended to operate automatically in order to reduce and improve human work in the industry. Advantages of this technology is commonly attributed to higher production rates and increased productivity, more efficient use of materials, better product quality, improved safety, shorter workweeks for labour, and reduced factory lead times.
  3. The Automation Engineer will design, program, simulate and commission automated machines and plantwide processes to perform many job functions. Depending on the size of the organization, the engineer will perform some or all of these responsibilities. Therefore, it is necessary for diploma engineers to have knowledge of both PLC and SCADA technology.
