Mechanical Enginnering

About Mechanical Engineering

 Mechanical engineering is the discipline that applies the principles of engineering, physics, and materials science for the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems.
 It is the branch of engineering that involves the design, production, and operation of machinery. It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering disciplines. 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 in WCEM Mechanical Engineering department has been established in 2009 with intake capacity of 60 which was increased to 120 from the session 2011-12, approved by AICTE New Delhi, Government of Maharashtra and Institute of Engineers (India). The intake capacity of the department is 120 in the current year 2015-16. The department started M. Tech. (CAD/CAM) PG course from session 2014-15 with intake capacity of 24 seats.

The department has organized various programs like National Conference, Short Term Training Programs Industry-Institute-Interaction cell activities. The Department believes in bringing an attitudinal change in the students and to create and maintain environment conducive to their learning and developing qualities & skills, which would facilitate them to face challenges at the work place with confidence and perfection.

The department has highly qualified staff with industrial experience. Department provides additional training to our students on CAD/CAM, CNC-Trainer and other areas. The students of the department also excel in the University and secure merit ranks every year.

 The head of the department is Prof. Dilip Gangwani. The Central workshop has a separate building Fitting Shop, carpentry Shop, welding Shop, smithy Shop, foundry Shop and machine Shop. It is fully equipped with machines, which ranges from conventional engine lathe to contemporary CNC machine. Mechanical engineering is one of the core branches of Engineering.

It provides in-depth understanding of core concept including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, energy and manufacturing. The student get knowledge of mechanics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, kinematics and dynamics of system, robotics, machine design, automation, computer graphics and material science.

 Mechanical engineers are required not only in hard core mechanical industries, but also in chemical, process fertilizers and software industries. They have got good scope in government sector namely Ordnance factories, Indian Railway, Navy, Air Force, Army, marine, Power Plants, Aerospace etc.
