Mechanical Engineering

Head of Department : Dr. K. Balakrishnan

Welcome to Department of Mechanical Engineering.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering welcomes you to be a part of the thriving engineering community and become visionaries and change makers of the future. Department of Mechanical Engineering in GEC Wayanad came into existence in the year 2014 with an intake of 60. Our distinguished faculty members ensure a wide range of diverse learning experiences ranging from the fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering, Core Courses, Programming, Emerging Technologies like, Robotics, Mechatronics, Design and Engineering, Industrial Safety, Professional Ethics —to name just a few.

Mechanical Engineering, is the base for all engineering and the building block for all other engineering divisions. This is versatile in nature and students learn in and out of the engineering.  The students get placed in core companies and software related companies. The students has immence opportunities to select their higher studies in the areas of robotics, MBA, Design courses, M Tech etc. Our Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME) is dedicated for ensuring great careers for its students. Our faculty and students are constantly striving to excel and to advance the state of the art in Mechanical Engineering. The department believes in outcome based education. The department aims to bring the research culture to make use of it for the benefits of the society. Hence the student take up socially relevant projects. The department helps to bring out the promising new ideas in the form ofstart-up companies and to excel as entrepreneurs.

Learning is a continuous process and does not end with the acquisition of a degree, especially because steady and rapid advances in technologies shorten the life of tools and techniques prevalent today. Therefore we give a strong foundation in Mechanical Engineering and are made adaptable to changes.

We believe that this approach to teaching-learning, coupled with practical experience gained during Industrial Training in reputed organizations, equips our students to handle the challenges posed by the engineering industry. I am confident that you will find our students worthy of your organization.

We welcome all students to our department to explore their internal capabilities and apply them to the benefits of society.

Program Educational Objectives

The program educational objectives (PEOs) are formed by keeping in mind that the UG program, B Tech in Mechanical Engineering, aims at moulding the graduates for rewarding productive careers in the engineering profession. Accordingly, upon successful completion of the program, the graduates are expected to:
PEO-1: To produce graduates having a strong knowledge of basic science, Mathematics & Engineering and ability to use these tools to address real world problems as a team.
PEO-2: To develop ability among the students  to perform as competent engineering professionals in industry , government or other organizations by acquiring technical knowledge in specialized areas of Mechanical Engineering with a focus on research , innovation and  management.
PEO-3: To provide opportunities for the students to work with multidiscipline field of engineering so as to enlarge the ability among the students to understand the different industrial environments.
PEO-4: To inculcate a sense of ethics, professionalism and effective communication skills amongst graduates.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering prides itself on its commitment to providing an enriched learning environment for undergraduate students. To this end, a diverse spectrum of meticulously equipped laboratories and ancillary facilities has been curated. These resources are strategically available to students throughout the entirety of the semester, affording them valuable opportunities to engage in experiential learning, innovative research initiatives, and the successful completion of projects across various domains of mechanical engineering.

Furthermore, the department's unwavering dedication to fostering practical skills and theoretical knowledge convergence is exemplified through the continuous enhancement and modernization of these facilities. The labs are thoughtfully designed to align with the evolving demands of the mechanical engineering field, ensuring that students are equipped with a versatile skill set that bridges academic teachings with real-world applications. By facilitating an environment where students can seamlessly integrate classroom teachings with hands-on experiences, the department aims to nurture not only competent engineers but also future leaders in the realm of mechanical engineering.
