Robotics and Automation (MEC503): Students learn about robotic systems, automation technologies, control theory, sensor integration, and programming for autonomous systems.
Nanotechnology and Smart Materials (MEC505): The course explores the behavior of materials at the nanoscale, including self-assembling structures, shape memory alloys, and responsive polymers.
Advanced Thermodynamics (MEC501): This elective builds upon foundational thermodynamics to cover advanced concepts such as entropy production, exergy analysis, and thermodynamic cycles in detail.
Numerical Methods in Engineering (MEC502): Students are introduced to numerical techniques used in engineering simulations including finite element methods, computational fluid dynamics, and differential equation solving algorithms.
Control Systems (MEC404): The course focuses on feedback control systems, stability analysis, and design of controllers for dynamic systems using classical and modern approaches.
Mechatronics (MEC402): Integrates mechanical engineering with electronics, computer science, and control systems to create intelligent machines and automated systems.
Heat Transfer (MEC401): Covers conduction, convection, and radiation heat transfer mechanisms with emphasis on practical applications in engineering systems.
Design of Machine Elements (MEC403): Focuses on the design process for mechanical components such as shafts, gears, bearings, springs, and fasteners under various loading conditions.
Energy Conversion Systems (MEC405): Analyzes systems that convert one form of energy into another, including steam turbines, internal combustion engines, and fuel cells.
Project-Based Learning Philosophy
Our department emphasizes project-based learning as a cornerstone of our educational approach. Projects are designed to simulate real-world engineering challenges, encouraging students to collaborate, innovate, and apply theoretical knowledge in practical contexts.
The mandatory mini-projects begin in the second year, where students work in teams to solve specific problems related to their coursework. These projects are evaluated based on creativity, technical execution, presentation quality, and teamwork.
In the final year, students undertake a capstone project under the supervision of faculty mentors. The project spans two semesters (7th and 8th) and involves extensive research, design, prototyping, testing, and documentation. Students select projects aligned with their interests or industry needs, often collaborating with external organizations.
Faculty mentors guide students throughout the project lifecycle, providing technical expertise, feedback on progress, and support in navigating complex engineering problems. The final evaluation includes a written report, oral presentation, and demonstration of the completed project to faculty panels and industry experts.
