Vision

To provide the human

resources of high academic

excellence in the field of me-

chanical engineering by

integrated education of global

standards.

Mission

To develop faculty and

resources to impart knowledge

and skills that en-hances the

education quality.

To strengthen collaboration

with industry, government and

R&D institutes. To provide

opportunities and develop

About the Department Mechanical Department started with the B.E.

Programme in the year 2004. It is affiliated to

Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU),

Belagavi, Karnataka. since its inception, the

department has been actively involved in

imparting quality education to the students.

The Department has highly qualified, commit-

ted and motivated faculty members. It has

well equipped spacious Laboratories and

other Infrastructural facilities to cater the

needs of budding Mechanical Engineering

Graduates. The departmental library has a

sound collection of books including reference

books &text books. The department is

recognized as a re-search Centre by VTU.

Over the decade, the department has

established state-of-the art laboratories in

various subjects which are utilized both by

undergraduate and post-graduate stu-dents

for conducting experiments. The department

has good number of MOUs with various

sectors of industry ranging from automotive to

manufacturing domains.

Post-Graduation in Thermal Power

Engineering

The Thermal Power Engineering course lays

accent on real-time applications of fluid flow

and heat transfer in Thermal energy systems,

Cryogenic Engineering and Refrigeration &

Air Conditioning etc. It trains students in the

design, devel-opment and simulation and

enables them to explore new areas in

Thermal Ener-gy Systems and associated

sciences.

MESA

Mechanical Engineering Students Association

has started in the year 2006, with an

intension of providing platform for the

students to exhibit their co-curricular talent.

The MESA was formed to bring about the

technical development of students by

organizing seminars, workshops and other

activities and also to improve non-technical

abilities of students by engendering good

communication skills, managerial abilities,

presentation skills and team work.
