Message from Head of Department
Established in 1996 Mechanical Engineering Department is the oldest branch in VVP Engineering College. It is also one of the biggest departments of the institute with student strength of about 480. While managing this strength, department is committed to wellbeing and all round development of its students. Objective of the undergraduate programme is to prepare the manpower that is globally best. Most of the students, who graduate from the department, end up taking leading positions in industry, academia and government in both India and abroad.
The department has faculty strength of 18 in which 5 faculties holds doctorate degree and 3 faculties are pursuing their doctorate from reputed universities. Needless to say every faculty hold master degree. Department has a technical staff of 10 who are associated with 31 exclusive laboratories like fluid mechanics and fluid power, dynamics of machinery, material science, thermal, refrigeration and air-conditioning CIM and many more. Department also houses an institute central facility on Robotics,3D printing and CNC Mill Trainer . The department is very well equipped with computational facilities and resources both in terms of hardware and software. Department has more than 100 computing systems and workstations loaded with wide range of software products covering all areas of mechanical engineering. A special energy audit cell is established by the department wherein faculties and technical staff provide auditing services across the spread of industries.
The department has evolved over time to keep up with the ever-increasing challenges in technology development, while maintaining a strong base in the fundamental aspects of Mechanical Engineering. While much of today’s research in Mechanical Engineering is of interdisciplinary nature requiring knowledge from numerous other science and engineering disciplines, the expertise of the faculty members of the department is categorized into three broad streams i.e. Thermal and fluids engineering, Design engineering and Manufacturing/production technology.
Mechanical Engineering Department of VVP Engineering College is committed to extract the underlying talent of future aspirants and believe in transforming students into professionally competent and socially sensitive Mechanical Engineers with human values.
