Detailed Departmental Elective Courses
Departmental electives play a crucial role in shaping the specialized knowledge of students. These courses allow students to explore niche areas within mechanical engineering and tailor their education according to personal interests and career goals.
Advanced Thermodynamics (MEC-502)
This course explores advanced concepts in thermodynamics, including non-equilibrium processes, entropy generation, and heat transfer mechanisms. Students gain insights into modern applications such as energy storage systems, refrigeration cycles, and power plant efficiency optimization.
Composite Materials and Structures (MEC-503)
This elective introduces students to composite materials, their manufacturing techniques, mechanical properties, and structural analysis. Topics include fiber-reinforced polymers, laminated composites, and finite element modeling of complex structures.
Renewable Energy Systems (MEC-504)
Focused on sustainable energy technologies, this course covers solar, wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal systems. Students learn about system design, performance analysis, and integration into existing grids using real-world case studies.
Advanced Manufacturing Processes (MEC-601)
This course delves into modern manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing, laser cutting, electron beam machining, and precision forming. It emphasizes automation, process control, and quality assurance in industrial settings.
Robotics and Automation (MEC-602)
Students learn about robotic systems, sensor integration, control algorithms, and artificial intelligence applications in mechanical engineering. The course includes hands-on projects involving mobile robots, manipulator arms, and automated assembly lines.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (MEC-603)
This elective provides an in-depth understanding of numerical methods for solving fluid flow problems using tools like ANSYS Fluent and STAR-CCM+. Students learn to simulate complex flows, optimize designs, and validate results through experimental validation.
Project Management (MEC-604)
Designed to prepare students for leadership roles in engineering projects, this course covers project planning, risk management, resource allocation, and team coordination. It includes case studies from real-world mechanical engineering projects.
Mini Projects and Capstone Thesis
The mini-project component begins in the seventh semester, where students work on a research or development task under faculty supervision. The final-year thesis, undertaken in the eighth semester, requires extensive independent study, data analysis, and presentation skills.
Projects are selected based on student interest, faculty expertise, and industry relevance. Faculty mentors guide students through problem definition, literature review, experimental design, data interpretation, and technical writing. Evaluation criteria include innovation, feasibility, impact, and presentation quality.
