To be a leader in imparting world-class education in Mechanical Engineering, with a vision to nurture scientists and technologists of the highest caliber engaging in global sustainable development.
Mission
Apart from a generic Undergraduate programme in Mechanical Engineering, the School offers specialized UG programmes in all core areas of Mechanical Engineering.
The school is the proud recipient of two FIST projects of the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. The first project was granted for the development of the Automotive Research Centre in the year 2003 with an outlay of Rs. 0.57 cr. The second project was granted for the establishment of the Centre for Advanced Manufacturing Research in 2011 with a total outlay of Rs. 2.57 cr. The school takes up funded research projects in the broad areas of Additive Manufacturing, Alternative Fuels, Bio-Corrosion, Composite Materials, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Technology, Hydrogen Storage, IC Engine, MEMS, Metal Joining, Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) and Surface Engineering.
The school has received a total of 57 research projects with a total outlay of 15.64 crores in the last 5 years from 2018. The funding is being provided by various agencies such as DST – SERB, DST-CRG, AR&DB, ISRO, DAE–BRNS, DRDO-NRB, GTRE, and DST-Nano-Mission scheme etc.. The school has also attracted international funding from Royal Academy of Engineering, Swedish Council for higher education, DST-NAWA, DST-IC IMPACT Indo- Canada, Indo-Hungarian Joint Research Scheme, DST – UKIERI etc. in the last 5 years.
The school has a very competitive and healthy publishing culture. The number of Scopus indexed publications of the faculty members of the school in the year 2017 is 315. The published journals include wear measurement, International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, Fuel, Renewable energy, Progress in Materials Science, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Materials and Design, Enzyme and Microbial Technology, Ceramics International, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Heat and Mass Transfer, Composite Structures and Corrosion Engineering and Technology.
One of the areas of focus of the School is on New Product Development and the generation of intellectual wealth. The faculty members of the school had filed over 12 National parents over the last 5 years. The list of patents filed include Eco Board, Rotating radiator for improved heat transfer in motor vehicles, Special Anode for Aluminium – Air batteries, Anodic Coating for Aluminium – Air batteries and Mobile Vehicle Garage.
