Department consist of all well equipped laboratory with sophisticated instruments. The departmental subjects are categorized into major areas viz. Thermal Engineering Fluid Power Engineering and Fluid machines Machine Design CAD/CAM Production Engineering

Message from Head of Department

Mechanical engineering is versatile and evergreen branch of engineering. Mechanical engineer can work in various specialized area like automotive system, aerospace engineering, design engineering, dynamic system and control, power plant engineering, etc. and most importantly in software field also. Department has well qualified and dedicated faculties with well developed laboratories. We impart quality engineering education through sound theoretical knowledge, hands on laboratory as well as computational skill and exposure to recent technologies by visiting industries. We are continuously arranging seminars on current trends related with mechanical engineering along with external specialized speakers. Students are trained in various Industry related software’s like AUTO-CAD, PRO-E etc., to take competitive advantage and for better job opportunities. Dr. Hitesh S. Jariwala
