Learning Objectives

  • Mechanical Engineering is concerned with and designed to prepare students for lifelong learning and successful careers in industry, government, academia, consulting, and R&D.
  • Apply their engineering knowledge for critical thinking and problem solving in professional engineering practises.
  • Pursuing advanced-higher education such as M.Tech. and Ph.D., as well as generating leadership in their career.
  • Conduct themselves in an ethical, responsible, dependable, honest, and professional manner for the development of society.
  • To encourage students to continue using various engineering methods to solve real-world problems that will benefit society as a whole.

Learning Outcomes

  • Engineering Knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
  • Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
  • Design/development and solutions:
  • Design solutions for complex engineering problems and system components or processes that meet the specified needs while taking into account public health and safety, as well as cultural, societal, and environmental factors
  • Conduct investigations of complex problems: To provide valid conclusions, use research-based knowledge and research methods such as experiment design, data analysis and interpretation, and information synthesis
  • Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations
  • The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to access societal, health, safety legal and cultural issues and the consequents responsibilities relevant to the professional engineer practice
  • Environmental and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development
  • Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice
  • Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings
  • Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions
  • Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments
  • Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and be prepared for, independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change
