OVERVIEW
Welcome to the Department of Mechanical Engineering, a
cross-disciplinary environment for education and research that reflects the
evolving nature of field. From traditional topics like mechanical design and
power generation to emerging areas such as biomechanics and culinary science. The
Department of Mechanical Engineering was established in 2008 with the
inception of the Institute to cater to undergraduate education in the field of Mechanical
Engineering with intake of 120 seats. It aims to produce quality professionals
in Mechanical Engineering to compete globally and excel by carrying out basic
and applied research in emerging areas by forging strong industry-institute
interaction.
The
engineering field requires a solid 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 life cycle management to design and analyze manufacturing
plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems,
motorized vehicles, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices and more.
FLUID MECHANICS LAB
Mechanical Engineering Department has different
laboratories with state of art facilities. Fluid mechanics lab has all new
comprehensive experimental set ups catering to the requirements of curriculum
and above that. The laboratories cater to the needs of mechanical
students in the subject of fluid mechanics. It strengthens and broadens the
students' knowledge of incompressible fluid mechanics. To provide hands-on
experience with flows those are more complex, nonlinear, or unsteady than are
typically studied in a lecture course. The
laboratory is equipped with large number of equipment and experimental set ups
to study the fundamentals and applied aspects of fluid mechanics. The setup
comprise a verity of devices like Venturimeters, Orificemeter, notches,
technique for the estimation of minor and major losses in the pipes,
verification of Bernoulli’s Theorem, impact of jet on vane, etc. The fluid
mechanic lab is for the students of fourth semester.

Pipe Friction ApparatusSTRENGTH OF MATERIAL LAB
Properties of the materials are very important in the
process of designing the durable components / machines / structures etc. These
properties include mechanical properties, thermal properties, electrical
properties, optical properties or magnetic properties or deterioration
properties. Mechanical engineers are mainly concerned with the mechanical
properties like strength, ductility, hardness, brittleness, toughness, creep,
fatigue strength of the materials. These properties play an important role for
the structures and components that are intended to sustain various type of
loads under the given service conditions. Different applications need specific
mechanical properties. Sometimes hardness is required at the surface of the
components, like gears, to make them wear resistant and sometimes toughness is
required to resist impact loading. This laboratory provides the know-how of the
mechanical properties of the materials through various experiments
on testing machines and equipment.

  KINEMATICS OF MACHINES LAB Mechanism and machine have considerable fascination for most student of Mechanical Engineering since theoretical principles involved have immediate application practical problem. The meaning of word ‘Machine’ given in oxford English dictionary is “an apparatus using or applying mechanical power, having several parts each with a definite function and together performing certain kind of work”. This definition indicates the importance of constrained motion and forces in design of different types of machine. Therefore, it is essential for mechanical engineering student to study basic concepts of machine related to relative motion and forces between various machine elements. To achieve this objective, two labs are set up in the department: a) Kinematics of machine. In this lab, students of mechanical engineering can learn about basic elements of machines through experiments. Kinematics of machine enables the students to study relative motion of different machine elements.This lab includes some attractive models of different types of gear such as model of spur gear, worm and worm gear, bevel gear. These models help the students to study the geometry of different types of gears. Thus, this lab enables the students to study the motion of different machine members without considering the forces.

  DYNAMICS OF MACHINE LAB
The Dynamics of machine lab have great significance
in study of those machines where unbalance forces play critical role. This lab
enables the students to deal with
the problems of balancing and gyroscopic effects. To understand the effect of
unbalance forces on machine and to reduce their effects, Dynamics of machine
lab is equipped with some essential experimental set ups. The students can
study about the methods of reducing the unbalance forces on static and dynamics balancing machine.
Watt governor, Porter governor, Hartnell governor are installed in lab to study
their performance, stability and sensitivity. Students can study the gyroscopic
effect by conducting experiment on motorized gyroscope. Moment of inertia of connected rod by compound pendulum
method, tri-flair suspension pendulum can be found out through experiments.
