Professor and Head OF DEPARTMENT
Mechanical Engineering envisages the development, design, manufacturing and maintenance of machinery. The present age demands Mechanical Engineering specialists who can adapt and be creative in new technical areas. Mechanical Engineers should know their specialised fields and broad interdisciplinary fields. To meet the above requirements, the Mechanical Engineering department offers the UG course in Mechanical Engineering and postgraduate courses in Heat Power Engineering and Design Engineering.
Vishwakarma Institute of Technology started an undergraduate course in Mechanical Engineering in 1986 and a postgraduate course in 1996. The Doctoral Program in Mechanical Engineering was introduced in the academic year 2005-06.
The Department has a well-qualified and dedicated faculty known for its high academic standards, well-maintained discipline, and complete infrastructure facilities. The Department has a Center of Excellence in the field of (i) Energy & Environmental Studies and (ii) Computer Aided Design & Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM).
The Department has maintained a good rapport with Industry and R&D organisations. It has student chapters of SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) and ISHRAE (Indian Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers).
