DEPARTMENT PROFILE

The department of Diploma in Mechanical Engineering was established in the year 2012 with an intake of 60, it is reduced to 30 in the year 2024. DME designed as a skill empower programme, to enable the students to keep pace with changing technological advances the students actually learn by doing and progress from basics to higher order skills like installation, maintenance and troubleshooting of machines. Diploma graduates can start entrepreneurial ventures or can pursue higher studies in national premier institutions.

Programs

Mechanical engineering requires an understanding of core areas including mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics, materials science, design, structural analysis, and electricity. In addition to these core principles, mechanical engineers use tools such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and product lifecycle management to design and analyse manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems, transport systems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices, weapons, and others. Today mechanical engineers are pursuing developments in such areas as composites, mechatronics, and nanotechnology. Mechanical engineers may also work in the field of Refrigeration and air conditioning, which is a process, where heat is removed from a location using a human-made heat exchange system. In a data centre, computer room air conditioning (CRAC) is the most common use of refrigeration. Application of refrigeration – domestic refrigerators – water coolers – ice plants. Cold storages – food preservation methods – plate freezing, quick – freezing. • Refrigeration system components – Compressors, condensers, expansion devices, evaporators. Cooling towers – Different types and their application fields. Refrigerant leakage and detection – charging of refrigerant – system controls. Factors affecting human comfort. Effective temperature – comfort chart. Summer air conditioning – factors affecting – cooling load estimation.
