About Department

Considered to be the most diverse amongst the engineering fields, Mechanical Engineering embraces areas such as automotive systems, combustion engineering, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, control of dynamic systems, design of mechanical systems, manufacturing processes and systems, materials behavior and processing etc. In other words, Mechanical Engineers design materials, machines and other sub-systems to perform an intended function. They broadly deal with issues related to energy conversion, interfacing mechanical components with other sub-systems, interfacing man and machine, and the control of the different sub-systems. Mechanical engineering is a diverse subject that derives its breadth from the need to design and manufacture everything from small individual parts and devices (e.g., micro scale sensors and inkjet printer nozzles) to large systems (e.g., spacecraft and machine tools). The role of a mechanical engineer is to take a product from an idea to the marketplace. In order to accomplish this, a broad range of skills are needed. The mechanical engineer needs to acquire particular skills and knowledge. He/she needs to understand the forces and the thermal environment that a product, its parts, or its subsystems will encounter; to design them for functionality, aesthetics, and the ability to withstand the forces and the thermal environment they will be subjected to; and to determine the best way to manufacture them and ensure they will operate without failure. Perhaps the one skill that is the mechanical engineer’s exclusive domain is the ability to analyze and design objects and systems with motion.

Labs

METROLOGY & MEASUREMENT LABORATORY

Measurements are pretty important to engineers— how else do we get our data? These measurements include data such as mass, velocity, pressure, strain, and temperature. When that data is some sort of “dimension”, we are talking about metrology. Engineers care about good dimensional measurements from two different directions.

The first direction is forward. In design, accurate measurements are essential to ensure that parts or processes under design are dimensioned correctly. Then after a part is finally manufactured, it must be inspected for quality to be sure that the final product matches the designer’s intentions.

The second direction is backward. The very first stage of design understands the problem at hand. This can take the form of such activities as reverse engineering (as we will study in a later lab), or simply basic scientific investigation into poorly understood phenomena (think, for example, of the difficulties associated with fatigue and wear) of relevance to a particular engineering problem. In such cases, accurate measurements of the unknown are the basic tool engineers have to assemble the facts from which scientific hypotheses can be deduced and then tested. Metrology is also a fine avenue for discussing accuracy, error, and calibration.

CAD/CAM LAB

CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) refers to computer software that is used to both design and manufacture products. Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is the use of computer systems to plan, manage, and control the operations of a manufacturing plant through direct or indirect computer interface with plant’s resources.CAD is the use of computer technology for design and design documentation.CAD/CAM applications are used to both design a product and program manufacturing processes, specifically, CNC machining. CAM software uses the models and assemblies created in CAD software to generate tool paths that drive the machines that turn the designs into physical parts. CAD/CAM software is most often used for machining of prototypes and finished parts. The Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) Lab provides a computing environment where students can put to practice the concepts and principles they’ve studied in their lectures.

FLUID MECHANICS AND HYDRAULIC MACHINES LAB

The Fluid Mechanics course is an introduction to the mechanics of incompressible and compressible fluids. It covers the principles and more important theories of modern fluid mechanics. The Fluid Mechanics Laboratory course is an indispensable supplement to the theory. It covers measuring devices and techniques, error analysis in experimental works and analysis of assumptions in the theory of fluid mechanics.

Hydraulics and fluid mechanics, or the study of liquids, is an important area for Mechanical Engineers. Whether designing a steam engine, or working on a pump or turbine, Mechanical Engineers need to know how the water or liquid is going to move or operate. This allows them to create and maintain important machines that power our everyday world.

THERMAL ENGINEERING LAB

This is the branch of heat engineering that deals with the conversion of heat into other forms of energy, mainly mechanical and electric. Mechanical energy is generated from heat in heat engines, which power, for example, machine tools, , and conveyor the mechanical energy from heat engines also drives certain types of electric generators.

The devices in which heat is converted into electric power without the use of an electric generator are known as direct-power generators. Such devices include magneto hydrodynamic generators, thermo electric generators, and thermionic power generators. The conversion of heat into mechanical energy in heat engines is based on the ability of a gaseous or vaporous substance to perform mechanical work during a change in volume. The working substance (gas or vapor) must complete a closed sequence of thermodynamic processes.
