Mechanical Engineering
DEPARTMENT PROFILE
DEPARTMENT PROFILE:
Mechanical engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of physics and materials science
for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering
that involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design, production, and
operation of machines and tools. It is one of the oldest and broadest engineeringdisciplines. The engineering
field requires an understanding of core concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials
science, and structural analysis. Mechanical engineers use these core principles along with tools like computer-
aided engineering and product lifecycle management to design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial
equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics,
medical devices and more. Mechanical engineering emerged as a field during the industrial revolution in
Europe in the 18th century; however, its development can be traced back several thousand years around the
world. Mechanical engineering science emerged in the 19th century as a result of developments in the field of
physics. The field has continually evolved to incorporate advancements in technology, and mechanical
engineers today are pursuing developments in such fields as composites, mechatronics, and nanotechnology.
Mechanical engineering overlaps with aerospace engineering, building services engineering, civil engineering,
electrical engineering, petroleum engineering, and chemical engineering to varying amounts. The Mechanical
Engineering Dept at SNPIT & RC is one of the largest in terms of faculty, students, and activities, continues to
lead and expand its activities in various directions.
