Mechanical Engineering:

---

Mechanical  engineering is one of the crusted and broad branch of engineering. it includes design of mechanical systems, analysis, manufacturing(production) and their maintenance. It requires sound knowledge of Applied Physics, Engineering Mathematics and Material Science(Metallurgy).

Applied Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Material Science, Electrical and Control Engineering are the pilers of Mechanical Engineering, apart from these core branches, CAD(Computer Aided Design), CAM(Computer Aided Manufacturing), Production Engineering, Industrial Equipments and Systems, Printing, Cooling Systems, Automobile Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics and Automation have also included in Mechanical Engineering.

Course curriculum:

---
