DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is a diverse collection of

faculty from several different disciplines. Their overarching common

goal is to develop and apply novel technologies to the physical world

for the benefit of society. Thus, the department has design,

manufacturing, thermal and material engineers. I am pleased that the

department of Mechanical Engineering is publishing its fourth issue of

periodic newsletter for 2018-19. This issue highlights the strengths and

achievements of the department. I take this opportunity to congratulate

the editorial team for bringing out this newsletter, which in itself is an

achievement considering the effort and time required. May all our

students, staff and faculty soar high in uncharted skies and bring glory

to the world and their profession with the wings of education.

“Finally, I express my sincere thanks to the

management, principal, colleagues and my dear

Ltd etc have participated in the constructive panel discussions. This conclave was highly useful in connecting Industry with our Institute in imparting domain skill and to update the industry relevance knowledge. Some of the industries have extended their support in giving internships for both students & faculty. This will be a continuing

Industry Institute Conclave


Internships Organized

Department of Mechanical Engineering was organized an industrial visit to TVS motor company, on 23rd and 24th of April 2019 for 2nd year students. 109 students of 4th semester were visited the TVS plant. Students got the exposure on latest industrial developments and visited different departments like

machining (3 & 5 axis CNC machines), fabrication, painting and on engine assembly (TVS Star, TVS Victor, TVS Apache G310R etc.). They also visited the inspection site of various bikes.

➢

➢ Department of Mechanical Engineering has organized a visit to “Hindustan Aeronautical Limited” (Foundry & Forge Division) Bengaluru on 24th of November 2018. Students of 3rd ‘B’ section were taken for the visit along with two faculties. Students got the exposure on latest industrial developments on Castings, Forgings, Rolled Rings, Shape Memory Alloy.

➢ Department of Mechanical Engineering has organized a visit to “Ace designers Pvt. Limited” Bengaluru on 14th of November 2018. Students of 3rd ‘A’ section were taken for the visit along with two faculties. Students got the exposure on latest CNC Lathes, Vertical & Horizontal Machining centers, CNC & Hydraulic Grinding Machines, High precision automation accessories for machine tools.

➢ To emphasis more on practical aspects and to strengthen the practical knowledge to 5th semester students, an industrial visit was organized on 26th and 27th September of 2018 to Propulsion Division of National Aerospace Laboratories, Bengaluru. This industrial visit was arranged for better understanding of theoretical concepts of turbo machinery, the subject which they are studying for the current semester. Scientists of NAL showed various testing facilities i.e., wind tunnel, acoustic test, small gas turbine combustor, transonic cascade tunnel, axial flow compressor test rig. In the wind tunnel, it was explained how different component sub-assemblies of missiles are tested to verify the adequacy of requirements for the launching. Students were explained the need for acoustic testing to withstand

the specified level for subsystems in the reverberation chamber. The distribution pattern of sound inside the chamber with acoustic horns to simulate different levels which the subassemblies will experience during the launch was demonstrated.
