Siddaganga Institute of Technology

ABOUT DEPARTMENT

Department of Mechanical Engineering was established in the year 1963. Department of Mechanical Engineering is one of the largest and the oldest branches of engineering in the institute. Department has well equipped laboratories, workshops and other infrastructural facilities. Students of mechanical Engineeering are exposed to the latest topics in the areas of Design, Manufacturing, Thermal, Material Science and Materials Engineering.

Department of Mechanical Engineering is a recognized Research Centre of Visvesvaraya Technological University for M.Sc. (Engg.) and Ph.D. programmes and also has full-time and part-time post graduate programme (M.Tech.) in Thermal Power Engineering and Manfacturing Science and Engineering.

Programme Outcomes (POs)

Mechanical Engineering programme is designed to empower the students with the following:

Engineering Knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
Design/ Development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations
Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.
Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.
Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
Life-long learning: Recognize the need for and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and lifelong learning in the broadest context of technological change
