FACULTY OF MECHANICAL AND AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING<br />
THE DEPARTMENT<br />
Mechanical <strong>Engineering</strong> is a highly versatile <strong>and</strong> diversified engineering discipline. On one h<strong>and</strong> it is concerned with the design<br />
<strong>of</strong> machines <strong>and</strong> equipment that use energy <strong>and</strong> convert it into useful work. On the other h<strong>and</strong> it deals with the design <strong>and</strong><br />
development <strong>of</strong> those machines that are used for manufacturing, production <strong>and</strong> process equipment.<br />
The department <strong>of</strong>fers four years degree program leading to BSc in Mechanical <strong>Engineering</strong>. At present, around 600 students in<br />
BSc, 150 students in MSc <strong>and</strong> 60 students in PhD are enrolled in the program.<br />
COURSES OF STUDY<br />
The Mechanical <strong>Engineering</strong> courses are built on a strong<br />
foundation <strong>of</strong> mathematical, physical <strong>and</strong> computing sciences.<br />
Emphasis is laid on the fundamental concepts <strong>and</strong> principles,<br />
which constitute the basis <strong>of</strong> mechanical engineering practice.<br />
The curriculum is designed to cover a broad range <strong>of</strong> areas. The<br />
department <strong>of</strong>fers a series <strong>of</strong> courses in the following areas:<br />
Thermal Systems <strong>Engineering</strong><br />
Applied Mechanics <strong>and</strong> Design<br />
Manufacturing Processes <strong>Engineering</strong><br />
Computer based Mechanical <strong>Engineering</strong><br />
Applied Mathematics & Statistics<br />
<strong>Engineering</strong> Management<br />
The courses in Thermal <strong>Engineering</strong> include applied<br />
Thermodynamics, Refrigeration <strong>and</strong> Air Conditioning, Heat<br />
<strong>and</strong> Mass Transfer, Power Plant, Fluid Mechanics <strong>and</strong> Gas<br />
Dynamics. The department <strong>of</strong>fers a wide range <strong>of</strong> courses in<br />
Applied Mechanics <strong>and</strong> Design. Starting from a basic course in<br />
<strong>Engineering</strong> Statics, a series <strong>of</strong> courses is <strong>of</strong>fered in Mechanics<br />
<strong>of</strong> Materials <strong>and</strong> Mechanics <strong>of</strong> Machines. These theoretical<br />
concepts are fostered in a series <strong>of</strong> Machine Design courses<br />
enabling the students to try their skills <strong>and</strong> design small<br />
mechanical equipment. Product design is <strong>of</strong> no use without<br />
product development studies. Manufacturing Processes<br />
<strong>Engineering</strong> deals with the smart <strong>and</strong> economical product<br />
development methodologies. Students start with Workshop<br />
Technology in this area. Successive courses in <strong>Engineering</strong><br />
Materials, Manufacturing Processes <strong>and</strong> Production<br />
Automation provide the students further insight to this<br />
area. Additional courses like <strong>Engineering</strong> Management <strong>and</strong><br />
Economics in senior year introduce students to the efficient<br />
management <strong>of</strong> the productive resources. Computer based<br />
mechanical engineering concepts have been embedded in<br />
various courses like Computer Programming, Machine Design,<br />
CAD <strong>and</strong> Thermo-Fluids <strong>Engineering</strong> etc.<br />
The <strong>University</strong> has a rich industrial neighborhood. The students<br />
have the opportunity to make maximum use <strong>of</strong> this industrial<br />
environment by engaging themselves in short term as well<br />
as long term training. These industries include HIT, HMC, POF,<br />
PAF complex at Kamra, HEC, KSB, TIP, CTI, ARL, OGTI, Railway<br />
Carriage Factory, Research Establishments <strong>of</strong> PAEC, NESCOM<br />
<strong>and</strong> a large number <strong>of</strong> units in the Hattar area. The students<br />
pick real world problems either for their semester papers or<br />
as final year project from these organizations <strong>and</strong> brush their<br />
skills.<br />
The department is <strong>of</strong>fering Masters Degree program since<br />
1983. A large number <strong>of</strong> engineering graduates have made use
