MESSAGE FROM HOD

Mechanical engineering department is one of the first established department of IIT Bhilai. The vision of the department is to acquire global recognition while producing substantial societal impact and leading the institute towards being one of the prime contributors in a sustainable development of our country. The department continuously strives for excellence in innovative and interdisciplinary approach in education and research to foster strong industry-academia collaboration.

The core department offers a thorough and well decorated academic structure for theoretical understanding and their practical applications. Mechanical engineering department has efficiently combined the traditional and futuristic laboratories to inculcate technological skills among the pursuing students. In a broad sense we have an Automation lab, thermo-fluidic lab and a fabrication lab which includes Robots, 3D printing equipment, CNC machining centre, CNC turning centre, wire-cut-EDM, laser cutting machine, heat and flow measuring instruments, IC engines, UTM, along with material and thermal characterization facilities. The state-of-the-art laboratory equipment will enable the students to test newly learned theories and empower them to convert any idea into reality. The department efficiently covers all the traditional core areas of statics, dynamics, vibrations, structural analysis, materials, thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics and fluid power along with manufacturing technologies etc. Apart from the traditional areas, department also attaches significant emphasis on more emergent areas including Energy conservation, renewable/alternate and sustainable technologies, additive manufacturing, precision engineering, material characterization and testing, material synthesis and processing, industry 4.0 etc. The department started with B.Tech program in August 2016. Now the department is offering M.Tech and Ph.D programs in diverse fields of advanced research. We strive to contribute towards national progress by welding together the zeal and enthusiasm of the undergraduates with the knowledge and experience of the post-graduates..
