INTRODUCTION

     Mechanical engineering is one of the early engineering disciplines with very wide applications in industries. Mechanical engineers often use the laws of mechanics, energy and other fundamental principles to design and manufacture machines, machine tools, components of various equipment and devices of all types. They create the processes and systems that drive industrial technologies. They also design mechanisms to impart several kinds of useful work which include elevators, refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment, robots, and electric generators. Mechanical engineers use tools in other engineering disciplines also for design. The undergraduate programme of mechanical engineering in our institution was started in the year 1998.  All the laboratories have been equipped with modern machineries and other facilities and the department has well qualified and dedicated faculties of 17 which is the illustrative feature of the department. The Mechanical Engineering Technical Association (META) organizes invited lectures, symposiums, conferences to enlighten the latest technologies in this field.
