B.Tech - Mechanical Engineering

About the Course

Mechanical Engineering is concerned with the design, construction, installation, commissioning and operation of industries, power stations, engines, and machines. It is one of the oldest and the broadest disciplines of engineering. Mechanical engineers have always been in demand and are at the forefront in technological innovation. They will continue to lead the world by making significant contributions in manufacturing, energy generation, transportation, waste management, health and environment.
 
Career Prospects
Mechanical engineering is one of the highest employment generators among all the engineering streams. Due to the widespread usage of machinery and technology, mechanical engineers can find employment almost anywhere in the world. A mechanical engineering graduate can choose a career in Automation, Production, Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Reverse Engineering, Power Generation, Nuclear Reactors, Air-conditioning Equipments, Aircraft Engines, Electrical and Transportation Equipment, Refineries and Automobiles manufacturing Industries.
