About the Institute
The Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur (Erstwhile ‘Bengal Engineering College’) is the first institute to become IIEST in India in 2014. The Institute has a rich history. It is empowering the nation since 1856. Considering the year of establishment, it is the 3rd engineering college in India but considering the year of graduation it is the 2nd oldest engineering college in India. It has 16 departments and 8 schools. It has over 250 faculty members and a student strength of over 4000. The institute has a beautiful green campus covering an area of nearly 49 hectares on the western bank of the river Hooghly.
About the Department
Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIEST Shibpur, has completed 100 years of its existence in 2021. The inception of the Mechanical Engineering Department may be traced back to the pre-independence era of the country, with the initiation of a diploma course in Mechanical Engineering in 1921. The first degree level course in Mechanical Engineering started on 18th July 1930. Post-graduate course in the department started in the year 1954. Over the years, through its high level of teaching and research in mechanical engineering, the department, has earned a name and fame for itself, making significant contributions to this important field of engineering. The Department offers 8 Semester Undergraduate (UG) and 4-Semester Postgraduate (PG) courses in Mechanical Engineering, with current annual intake of 92 students in UG and 30 students in PG. A 10-semester Dual Degree B.Tech-M.Tech program is also in place. Currently, the PG courses are available in three specializations, namely, Machine Design, Thermal Engineering, and Manufacturing Science, leading to the degree of Master of Technology. The department also runs a full-time PhD program, where currently about 40 research scholars are engaged.
