PROFESSOR

          The Department of Mechanical Engineering is one of the oldest departments in the College of Engineering Guindy campus and has a long history of about 127 years of service in Mechanical Engineering education. The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers two undergraduate programmes namely B.E (Mechanical Engineering) and B.E (Materials Science and Engineering), six (6) postgraduate programmes and PhD programme. The department has over 60 faculty members with rich experience and with nearly 720 UG students’, 180 PG students’ and 171 research scholars pursuing PhD programmes. The department is aimed at imparting world-class education to the students. The department is fully equipped with a state-of-the-art facilities in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Engineering to support academic and research programmes. With the change in industrial atmosphere, the department tuned itself to offer courses that are very much relevant to modern industries The curriculum of UG and PG courses are regularly modified once in four years and the course contents are updated to enable the students to learn and equip themselves to be a suitable candidate for a changing technological environment.
