The Department of Mechanical Engineering was established in the year 2004. The department offers B.Tech from the academic year 2004-2005 (Mechanical Engineering), M.Tech (CAD/CAM) from the academic year 2008 – 2009 and M.Tech (Thermal Engineering) from the academic year 2021 – 2022. Our vision is to educate and enrich effective and responsible Mechanical Engineers to fulfil the needs of industry and society, where teaching, learning and research synergize to deliver technical education and scientific research for public good. Our mission is to create efficient mechanical engineers who can compete at the global level. The projects and hands-on activities are designed to foster a spirit of entrepreneurship among students and to enable a few to launch their own ventures.
The department was accredited by National Board of Accreditation (NBA) in 2013 and was recognized as research centre by Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Kakinada (JNTUK) in 2016. The department has seven Ph.D. doctorates and experienced faculty members in all streams of Mechanical Engineering and skilled supporting staff. The faculty members have published around 130 research papers in various International and National Journals/Conferences and actively engaged in research and consultancy works. The department regularly organizes technical workshops/Seminars/FDPs for the student and faculty members to expose them to emerging areas. The department has state-of-the art facilities for laboratories, department library and classrooms to support e-learning (Smart and Interactive boards). The department has a well-equipped centralized workshop facility which caters to the needs of various departments. Guest lectures and industrial visits are periodically arranged for the students to supplement their curriculum. We strive for all round excellence in students, encouraging them in all extracurricular and club activities.
The department is very well equipped with computational facilities and resources both in terms of hardware and software. Department has more than 180 computing systems and workstations loaded with wide range of software products covering all areas of Mechanical Engineering. The department having DASSAULT System Lab associated with APSSDC. The Department has Association of Mechanical Engineering (IEI, ASME & ISTE) which is a forum for students to develop their professional skills. Students are also encouraged to take part in awareness campaigns that have social relevance. Alumni of the department have occupied very high positions at National and International level.
