4 Year Bachelor Degree Programme (Full Time)
Mechanical engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of physics and materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design, production, and operation of machines and tools. It is one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines.
The engineering field requires an understanding of core concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, and structural analysis. Mechanical engineers use these core principles along with tools like computer-aided engineering and product lifecycle management to design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices and more.
Mechanical engineering emerged as a field during the industrial revolution in Europe in the 18th century; however, its development can be traced back several thousand years around the world. Mechanical engineering science emerged in the 19th century as a result of developments in the field of physics. The field has continuously evolved to incorporate advancements in technology, and mechanical engineers today are pursuing developments in such fields as composites, mechatronics, and nanotechnology. Mechanical engineering overlaps with aerospace engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering.
Our mission is to produce graduates engineers with a good general education, a broad knowledge of mechanical engineering, and a special understanding of one of its sub-field. Thus prepared, our graduates can meet and, perhaps, master the changing technological challenges of the 21st Century. This goal is accomplished by having forward looking mechanical engineering curricula, by placing emphasis on new technologies especially those that could impact on teaching and research, and by conducting applied and basic research to push the frontier of knowledge ahead in order to serve West Bengal and its surrounding region.
· To make our graduates experts in practical problem solving with abstract thinking skills.
