Manufacturing Engineering Birla Institute of Technology and Science

Overview

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Birla Institute of Technology and Science – Hyderabad Campus is one of the premier departments in the institute that provides a unique educational and research environment. Its various Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral Programs namely B.E Mechanical Engineering, B.E Manufacturing Engineering, M.E. Thermal Engineering, M.E Design Engineering and Ph.D. (Mechanical Engineering) are designed with an aim to keep pace with the rapidly evolving mechanical industry that demands unwavering passion and urge to innovate.

The Manufacturing Engineering  department is one of the largest departments on campus and caters to the requirements of pre-requisite subjects like Thermodynamics, Mechanics of Solids, Engineering Graphics and Central Workshop. The broad spectrum of courses is taught by a group of highly experienced faculty members active in research work in the respective areas. The syllabus-rigorous in design and content- is in keeping with the latest developments in the industry.

Labs and Facilities in the Department

The department has various labs aimed at providing practical knowledge to the students in different areas of mechanical engineering. State of the art machinery, numerous experimental set ups and workstations installed with advanced simulation software are some of the highlights here. The labs are established with best interest of the students in mind.

The lab courses are introduced at appropriate stages of the engineering programmes enabling the thought process needed for the making of a good mechanical engineering graduate. The students gain practical knowledge which shall serve as a background for the complete understanding of their core subjects and somehow prepare them in a way so that they can face the industry world once they graduate.

The labs are handled by the respective faculty in charge of the course and managed by a particular faculty as regards for periodic maintenance and improving the infrastructure from time to time. Highly qualified technicians and teaching assistants of the department help the faculty in charge for conducting the lab and student evaluation. In addition to the basic academic labs, a few research labs and centres are also established in the department.

The research labs houses advanced equipment for carrying out projects by the PhD scholars and higher degree students of the department under the supervision of the respective principal investigator from the department faculty. Research labs are also provided with licensed servers of sophisticated simulation software using which funded research projects as well as student course projects are carried out. A Centre of Excellence for Product Design and Realization is a recent addition to the list.
