About The Department
The Department of Mechanical Engineering is established as a full-fledged department offering B.E course from the year 2009 with an intake of 60 and in the year 2012 intake has been increased to 120 and from 2014 onwards the intake is 180 students.
The Department has excellent infrastructure facilities in keeping with latest trends and requirements and well reputed faculty members. It aims at preparing the students to face the challenge of the materially-conscious and technologically fast-developing world. It means to transform the students into young engineers with sound technical knowledge, leadership skills and decision-making abilities. This preparation results from the discipline and commitment of the students, leadership of the management and distinction of the faculty.
The Department periodically conducts Guest lectures, Industrial visits, Symposiums, Seminars etc. through its parent body “Association of Radiant Mechanical Youngsters (ARMY)” for the benefit of students. The efforts of our committed faculty members are really towards producing the students with excellence in knowledge and character. The department periodically organizes conferences,
FDPs, workshops, hands-on training and value added courses in coordination with AICTE, ISTE, Anna University, SAE, TEDA and reputed industries etc., for the benefit of both the academic and industrial community.
The department has recently installed 3D Printing Facility which is a recent technology in manufacturing. Ours is one among few colleges which is having such a facility.
Industrial visits and internships are arranged every year for the benefit of our students in some of the following industries.
- Mitsubishi heavy Industries Ltd, Ranipet.
