The Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Technology at Thandra paparaya institute of science & technology is to provide students with a sound mechanical engineering education, enhance the understanding and application of mechanical engineering principles, for techno economical development of the country, and improve the quality of life of our citizens through teaching, research, and outreach programs. The mission is further to provide an environment where students have extensive avenues to excel, improve technical exposure and develop personality and then get placed in PSUs, MNCs and reputed companies with good future so that students have global presence, in various roles and responsibilities. . With excellent teaching and learning environment it provides a platform to instill high motivation, moral values and leadership in its students.
The Department offers eight-semester Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) course with an annual intake of sixty.
The undergraduate curriculum of the Department includes a foundation of mathematics, physics, chemistry, environment, humanities, and electrical engineering. Engineering courses in fundamental areas constitute much of the remaining curriculum. A few technical electives allow the undergraduate student to specialize somewhat or to pursue broader understanding. In addition, the students develop experiment conducting skill by performing experiments in 20 different laboratories in the department. Department also supports workshop to students of all branches of Engineering.
The course curriculum has been designed to prepare its graduates to become intellectual leaders in industry, government, and academia. Graduates of the program will have the professional and scientific knowledge that allows them to be successful as career engineers and in the most demanding graduate programs. Specifically, they will be able to:- Function in professional environments in industry, government, and academia applying and building upon engineering science knowledge, problem-solving skills, and communication skills;
- Function as members of teams and in leadership roles applying ethical standards beyond traditional Mechanical engineering disciplines; Remain acquainted with technology and contemporary scientific and societal issues, and consequently improve skills and knowledge through a lifelong process of learning.
- Good research facilities and teaching oriented laboratories are available in Metrology, Ergonomics, CAD, Computer Integrated Manufacturing and Refrigeration and Air-conditioning.
This includes the following
- Unique laboratories for CAD/CAM lab, Metrology, RAC, etc. which are important for mechanical engineering education
- A superbly equipped vibration and controls laboratory
- An excellent heat transfer laboratory
- Excellent workshops.
The Department has focus for the future developments and it offers the aspirant engineer the opportunity to study in a pleasant environment. Through the modern structure of the Department, a special and unique opportunity is provided to the students to prepare themselves for the demands of their future work environment.
