B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering (with specialization in Mechatronics)

Mechatronics is a multi-disciplinary study dealing with the integration of mechanical devices, actuators, sensors, electronics, intelligent controllers and computers. Many new generations of consumer or commercial products can be classified as mechatronic products as they involve mechanical a s well as electronic components. The need for mechatronic education has grown due to the increase in the number and importance of such systems and devices. The program is designed to provide in-depth knowledge in the fundamentals, design, analysis and operation of mechatronic systems. The students apart from studying regular mechanical engineering course will get to study additional courses like, Control System, Electronic Devices, Programming on Java, Digital Signal Processing, Industry Automation, Robotic Analysis and Computer Network etc. The students here will undergo training in a full-fledged industry embraced with industry 4.0 and the project work will be purely interdisciplinary in nature.

Career opportunities after completing degree in Mechatronics:

Apart from this branch possessing equivalence with degree of Mechanical Engineering, following are the career options for a student completing graduate degree in Mechatronics trait. A graduate can work in the following roles:

• Robotics engineer/technician
• Automation engineer
• Control system design/troubleshooting engineer
• Electronics design engineer
• Mechanical design engineer
• Data scientist/big data analyst
• Instrumentation engineer
• Software engineer

There are numerous career domains that one can pursue after graduate program in Mechatronics which include but are not limited to: advanced manufacturing, robotics, telecommunications and information services, agriculture, food and forestry, biomedical, biotechnology, life sciences, medical equipment, renewable energy, transportation and logistics, defence and security.

How is Mechatronics different from Mechanical Engineering:

Mechanical Engineering is the mother of all engineering branches. It is a versatile course that can cater its purpose by combiningthermal, design and production principles. Mechatronics on the other hand is a highly specialized branch that beautifully amalgamates the basics of mechanical engineering, electronics, electrical, computer science, information technology, management systems, robotics, artificial intelligence, computing, etc. It is the need of the hour keeping in view the enhanced interception of core mechanical principles by these allied sciences. It has the capability to produce far more advanced systems with enhanced capabilities and also to step up into the current genre of artificial intelligence and smart manufacturing.

B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering (with specialization in Automobile Engg)

The Indian Auto Industry is one of the largest in the world with an annual production of 30.91 million vehicles in FY 2018-19, following a growth of 6.26 per cent over the last year. The automobile industry accounts for 7.1 per cent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). India is also a prominent auto exporter and has strong export growth expectations for the near future, around 31 per cent of small cars sold globally are manufactured in India. Several initiatives by the Government of India and the major automobile players in the Indian market are expected to make India a leader in the Two Wheeler and Four Wheeler market in the world by 2022. The Government of India aims to make automobiles manufacturing the main driver of the ‘Make in India’ initiative, as it expects the passenger vehicle market to triple to 9.4 million units by 2026, as highlighted in the Auto Mission Plan (AMP) 2016-26.

Government policies are providing a major thrust to electric vehicles for less dependence on conventional fuels, BS VI vehicles for cleaner environment and in foreseeable future autonomous vehicles. These needs will create a demand for automobile engineers, experts and researchers which the department of Automobile  Engineering aims  to fulfill.

The department has well developed up to date laboratory facilities. The students are exposed to various relevant topics like design of automobile components (both manual and computer aided), types of fuels used in automobiles with their property analysis, different types of energy losses in the vehicle, electric mobility technologies, technology and standards used in engine design and manufacturing, air conditioning in the automobiles, dynamics of motor vehicles, vibration analysis, electric and hybrid vehicle technology, autonomous vehicles, vehicle maintenance softwares such as AutoCAD, CATIA, MATLAB and ANSYS are being taught on workstations for design and development of vehicles.
