Department Of Mechanical Engineering

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is started in the year 2009, with affiliation from Anna University & Anna University of Technology. It currently offers Undergraduate degree(B.E) and having plan to offer Postgraduate degree. Department have talented mix of students (intake of 100% sanctioned strength in the first two batches) , technical staff and experienced (Both in Industry & teaching) faculty members. With over 120 students (undergraduate ) and sufficient faculty members, it is one of the largest mechanical engineering in ACTCET. Over the years the department has future plans to built a reputation for outstanding teaching in the rural area, Nelvoy village with 100% infrastructure.

The department houses excellent experimental and computational facilities for CAD and other activities. The areas of interest to faculty members span thermal engineering , fluid mechanics, heat transfer, hydro turbines, IC engines, combustion studies, refrigeration and air conditioning, manufacturing, metrology, metal cutting, computer aided manufacturing, precision engineering and instrumentation. Faculty members are engaged in active research with partners from Government establishments and industry
