Our Department encompasses three distinctive programmes in Mechanical, Mechatronics and Industrial Design that students can select from. Our team of academic experts, technical and support staff are enthusiastic about the idea of maintaining and building the department’s standing as a prominent hub of research, technology, knowledge and development in the fields of Mechanical, Mechatronics and Industrial Design.
Our students remain our most valuable participants. Academic staff members in the department are specialists in various fields of engineering. Apart from being committed lecturers, they are also actively involved in cutting edge research activities that span a range of areas in Mechanical, Mechatronics and Industrial Design. The qualifications are offered from national diploma up to doctoral level.
Mechanical Engineering is one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines, which applies the principles of physics and materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design, production, and operation of machines and tools.
The mechanical student will be trained to use principles of mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, and structural analysis, along with tools like computer-aided engineering and product lifecycle management to design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating, and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices, weapons, and more.
The term “Mechatronics” describes the integration of electronic engineering, electrical engineering, computer technology, and control engineering with mechanical engineering. This process forms a crucial part of the design, manufacturing, and maintenance of a wide range of engineering products and processes. Consequently, there is a need for engineers and technicians to adopt an interdisciplinary and integrated approach, involving skills and knowledge that are not confined to a single subject area. They should be able to operate and communicate across a range of engineering disciplines.
