About the Department

Mechanical Engineering is the oldest branch of engineering at DITU, that has found innumerable applications since it prehistoric times. Today, as we embark on new technological developments, The field of mechanical engineering has expanded tremendously to include Nano Materials & Technology, Renewable Energy, Computer Aided Design and Advance Manufacturing, Robotics, Mechatronics and Industrial Engineering besides conventional core areas.

Mechanical Engineers; the Designer of World, uses principles of science along with tools like computer-aided engineering and product life-cycle management to design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices. Mechanical engineering has wide spectrum of application in automobile engineering, aerospace engineering, metallurgical engineering, marine engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, petroleum engineering, and chemical engineering.

Automobile Engineering a specialized program of mechanical engineering deals with the study of Automotive-drawing, design & manufacturing of automobile, and their respective subsystem. Automobile engineers incorporates elements of mechanical, electrical, electronic, software and safety engineering in manufacturing, assembling and operation of automotive vehicles.

India is a home, attracting pupil from far- flung areas including international stakeholders, offering excellent jobs opportunities to develop a career in automobile industry and this in turn creates a strong demands for automobile engineers.

After an existence in 1998 the department has recorded consistent improvement in its academics, research and placements performance. Our department claims to have best quality Research Work at M.Tech. And Ph.D. level in the field of Mechanical Engineering. It offers a range of innovative designed program whose curricula & constantly update to meet the changing requirement of industry and meet the needs of all the stakeholders. Principles of academics, laboratories and infrastructure has uniqueness to train students for future readiness. Thermal engineering, CFD, metal forming, composite material, CAD, CAM and Tribology, also art advanced lab facility such as Flexible Manufacturing system (FMS), Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) equipment

Students are encouraged to get hands- on experience in the corporate world through internships projects with reputed organizations. With all the inputs one finds our students hardworking, practical- oriented and effective in any work environment. Student’s college club of Society of Automotive Engineering (SAE) is dedicated platform for students to participate, organize guest lectures, technical and model making competition, training and workshop.
