Advanced Materials for Maintenance: Provides an overview of advanced materials used in industrial applications, including composites, ceramics, and smart coatings. Students learn about material selection criteria and their implications for maintenance strategies.
Industrial Safety and Risk Management: Covers safety protocols, hazard identification, and risk mitigation techniques specific to industrial environments. Students are trained in emergency response planning and regulatory compliance.
Mechanical Systems Design: Focuses on the principles of mechanical system design with an emphasis on maintainability and reliability. Students learn how to design systems that minimize downtime and maximize operational lifespan.
Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department places a strong emphasis on project-based learning, believing that real-world experience is essential for developing competent engineers. Students begin working on mini-projects in their third year, tackling challenges posed by industry partners or academic faculty. These projects are evaluated based on innovation, technical execution, teamwork, and presentation quality.
The final-year capstone project is a comprehensive endeavor where students select a topic related to industrial maintenance and work under the supervision of a faculty mentor. The project involves extensive research, design, implementation, and documentation phases. Students present their findings to a panel of experts from academia and industry, ensuring that they are well-prepared for professional environments.
Faculty mentors are selected based on their expertise in specific areas of industrial maintenance. They guide students through the entire project lifecycle, providing technical support, feedback, and career advice. The selection process ensures that each student is matched with a mentor whose interests align with their chosen topic.
