ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

Established in 1998, the Department of Mechanical Engineering of our college has a rich legacy of academic excellence and innovation. Since its affiliation with Anna University in 2001, and subsequent permanent affiliation in 2013, the department has continuously evolved, earning accreditation from the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) in 2009. Recognizing our commitment to advanced education, Anna University designated our department as a research center in 2012, paving the way for cutting-edge research and scholarly achievements.

Our postgraduate program, M.E. CAD/CAM, introduced in 2014, reflects our commitment to expanding specialized education, with an intake of 18 students. The department boasts modern laboratories such as the Manufacturing Technology Lab, Fluid Mechanics Lab, IC Engines Lab, Heat Transfer Lab, CAD/CAM Lab, Dynamics Lab, and Mechatronics Lab, where students gain hands-on experience, bridging the gap between theoretical learning and practical application.

The faculty in our department are not only dedicated educators but also leaders in research, with numerous publications in prestigious journals indexed in WOS, SCI, and SCOPUS. Their innovative contributions to the field are further evidenced by the ten Indian Design Patents they hold. Our faculty have also secured substantial research funding, with ongoing projects totaling ₹81.99 Lakhs, supported by agencies such as AICTE, DST, and TNSCST.

As a recognized research center of Anna University, with 3 approved research supervisors and a growing number of Ph.D. graduates, the Department of Mechanical Engineering is a dynamic environment where innovation thrives, and the future of engineering is being shaped.
