B.Tech. Mechanical Engineering

B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering

The Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) in Mechanical Engineering is an undergraduate program designed to provide students with a broad and deep understanding of mechanical systems, principles, and applications. This program covers the fundamental concepts of engineering while emphasizing the design, analysis, and manufacturing of mechanical systems. Mechanical engineering is one of the most diverse and versatile branches of engineering, integrating principles from physics and mathematics to solve real-world problems.

Program Overview:

1.     Core Curriculum:

·       Fundamental Courses: The program begins with core courses in mathematics, physics, and engineering mechanics. These subjects form the foundation for understanding mechanical systems and their behavior.

·       Core Mechanical Engineering Subjects: Students study key areas such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, dynamics, vibrations, materials science, and manufacturing processes. These courses provide a comprehensive understanding of how mechanical systems are designed, analyzed, and optimized.

2.     Specialized Topics:

·       Design and Manufacturing: Courses in mechanical design focus on creating and analyzing mechanical components and systems. Students learn about computer-aided design (CAD), material selection, and manufacturing techniques.

·       Control Systems: This area covers the principles of controlling mechanical systems using sensors and actuators. Topics include control theory, automation, and robotics.

·       Energy Systems: Courses related to energy systems explore topics like renewable energy, power generation, and energy efficiency, addressing current and future challenges in energy management.

3.     Practical Experience:
