Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical Engineers are central to any successful economy with an ever increasing demand for higher level qualification particularly in India. Mechanical Engineering envisages the development, design, manufacturing and maintenance of machinery.
The present age demands Mechanical Engineering specialists who have the capacity of adaptability and creativity in the new technical areas. Mechanical Engineers should have knowledge not only in their own specialized fields but also in wide interdisciplinary fields.
What does Mechanical Engineers to do?
Mechanical engineers typically do the following:
- Analyze problems to see how mechanical and thermal devices might help solve a particular problem.
- Design or redesign mechanical and thermal devices or subsystems, using analysis and computer-aided design.
- Investigate equipment failures or difficulties to diagnose faulty operation and to recommend remedies.
- Develop and test prototypes of devices they design.
- Analyze the test results and change the design or system as needed.
- Oversee the manufacturing process for the device.
Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest engineering fields. Mechanical engineers design and oversee the manufacture of many products ranging from medical devices to new batteries.
Mechanical engineers design power-producing machines, such as electric generators, internal combustion engines, and steam and gas turbines, as well as power-using machines, such as refrigeration and air-conditioning systems.
Mechanical engineers design other machines inside buildings, such as elevators and escalators. They also design material-handling systems, such as conveyor systems and automated transfer stations.
Like other engineers, mechanical engineers use computers extensively. Mechanical engineers are routinely responsible for the integration of sensors, controllers, and machinery. Computer technology helps mechanical engineers create and analyze designs, run simulations and test how a machine is likely to work, interact with connected systems, and generate specifications for parts.
VISSION
The Mechanical Engineering Department Endeavor to be recognized Globally for outstanding Education and Research Leading to Well Qualified Engineers, Who areInnovative,Entrepreneurial and Successful in Advanced Fields of Mechanical Engineering to Cater the ever changing Industrial Demands and Social Needs.
MISSION
- To imparting highest quality education to the students to build their capacity and enhancing their skills to make them globally competitive mechanical engineer.
- To maintaining state of the art research facilities to provide collaborative environment that stimulates faculty,staff and students with opportunities to create, analyze,apply and disseminate knowledge.
- To develop alliances with world class R&D organizations, educational institutions,industry and alumni for excellence in teaching,research and consultancy practices.
- To provide the students with an academic environment of excellence,leadership,ethical guidelines and lifelong learning needed for a long productive career.
The following are examples of types of mechanical engineers:
Auto research engineers
Auto research engineers seek to improve the performance of cars. These engineers work to improve traditional features of cars such as suspension, and they also work on aerodynamics and new possible fuels.
Heating and cooling systems engineers
Heating and cooling systems engineers work to create and maintain environmental systems wherever temperatures and humidity must be kept within certain limits. They develop such systems for airplanes, trains, cars, schools, and even computer rooms.
Robotic engineers
Robotic engineers plan, build, and maintain robots. These engineers plan how robots will use sensors for detecting things based on light or smell, and they design how these sensors will fit into the designs of the robots.
The Department provides an outstanding educational environment complemented by superior teaching for its students as required by the industries.The aim of Diploma Course in Mechanical Engineering at SNS Polytechnic is to mould the students for professional practice in an era of rapidly advancing interdisciplinary technology.
The course builds on core curriculum to combine individual depth of experience competence, in Mechanical Engineering, with excellent background in all related subjects. It strikes a balance between classroom, lecture, laboratory and design and lays stress on floor level problem solving skills, which is essential for any branch. The course ensures to develop in each student: self-reliance, creativity, leadership, business and moral ethics and continuing education and motivation.
The major areas of subjects include Fluid Mechanics & Machines, Thermodynamics, Strength of materials, Automobile Engg, Industrial Engg., Theory of Machines, Heat Power Engg., Machine Tools, etc.
Laboratories
The Department is well equipped with all machines, engines, computer lab and independent CAD centre. The students are given knowledge and hands on experience on various machines and equipments. This knowledge and training imparted, enables the students to get placements in National and Multinational companies. Some of the major laboratories in Mechanical Engineering are:
- Fluid Mechanics Laboratory
- Heat Engine Laboratory
- Applied Mechanics Laboratory
- Theory of Machines Laboratory
- Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Laboratory
- Machine Tool Design Laboratory
