Mechanical Engineering - At a Glance

Marsh Faber defines Engineering as " finding simple, elegant solutions to problems."

Mechanical engineers design and develop everything you think of as a machine - from supersonic fighter jets to bicycles to toasters. And they influence the design of other products as well - shoes, light bulbs and even doors. Many mechanical engineers specialize in areas such as manufacturing, robotics, automotive/transportation and air conditioning. Others cross over into other disciplines, working on everything from artificial organs to the expanding field of nanotechnology. And some use their mechanical engineering degree as preparation for the practice of medicine and law. The mechanical engineer may design a component, a machine, a system or a process. Mechanical engineers will analyze their design using the principles of motion, energy, and force to insure the product functions safely, efficiently, reliably, and can be manufactured at a competitive cost.

Mechanical engineers work in the automotive, aerospace, chemical, computer, communication, paper, and power generation industries. Mechanical engineers will be found in virtually any manufacturing industry. Increasingly, mechanical engineers are needed in the environmental and bio-medical fields. Indeed virtually every product or service in modern life has probably been touched in some way by a mechanical engineer.

The department works with the Mission to provide our students with a perfect blend of intellectual and practical experiences, which helps them to serve our society and address a variety of needs. At the end of our program, students are prepared for entry-level work as mechanical engineers as well as for the post-graduate study in mechanical engineering or in another discipline, where a fundamental engineering background constitutes a desirable foundation.

Objectives

• To prepare the mechanical engineers of the future to take their places in the industry and to be fully consistent with the published University and College Mission Statements

• The Department of Mechanical Engineering has developed a program that is both intellectually challenging and broad in scope

• To produce graduates with a strong foundation in engineering fundamentals enabling them to:
  - Lead a successful career in industry or government and/or obtain an advanced degree, and
  - Contribute to engineering knowledge, the profession, and the community

Mechanical Engineering Course Structure

Mechanical Engineering:

Mechanical Engineers study:

• Statics: How are forces transmitted to and throughout a structure?

• Dynamics: What are the velocities,accelerations and resulting forces for a system in motion?

• Kinematics: How does a mechanism behave as it moves through its range of motion?

• Strength of Materials: Is the component strong enough to support the loads? Is it stiff enough?

• Materials Science: Which material has the optimum properties?

• Thermodynamics : How does energy get converted to useful power? What are the losses?

• Fluid Mechanics: What is the pressure drop due to the fluid flow? What are the aerodynamic drag forces?

• Heat Transfer: How do you calculate heat transfer rates from temperature data?  How do you predict the temperature distributions?

• Manufacturing: What manufacturing processes do you select?

• Machine Design: How do you synthesize all of the above?

• Electrical Circuits: How do you integrate electronic controls into your design?

• Laboratory Methods: How do you make and interpret both thermal and mechanical measurements?

• Vibrations: How do you predict and control vibrations?

• Engineering Economics: How do you estimate manufacturing costs?

Mechanical Engineering Faculty Information

Sandip Foundation's Institute of Technology & Research Center

The flagship Institute of Sandip Foundation, ‘Sandip Institute of Technology and Research Centre’ was established in the year 2008-2009, initially with four Engineering courses. Approved by All India Council for Technical Education, New Delhi and recognized by the State Government while being Affiliated to University of Pune.

The institution is decked up with world class infrastructure which includes State-of-the-Art Laboratories with modern equipment's, Library having books twice than the norms by AICTE, National and International Journals (including e-journals), ample reference books of various authors to cater the student needs and provide knowledge beyond the syllabus. Class rooms with ceiling mounted LCD Projectors, AC seminar halls, laboratories, Amphitheater to cater the need of all sorts of college festivals, sports facilities, Hostels with well crafted rooms and a clean and energetic canteen for rejuvenating breaks.

The modern infrastructure standards are complimented with lush green lawns and trees around the campus which make the atmosphere in and around the institution a pleasant place to learn, gain and apply the knowledge. The highly efficient faculty boosts the morale of the students and makes them go a step beyond the ordinary and also harness campus placements.
