The Department of Mechanical Engineering has been one of the core branches, which
was started right at the inception of the Karunya in 1986. From then, it has grown from
strength to strength and as on date, it has matured into a pillar of strength for the Karunya
University. In order to meet the manpower of the rapidly growing Industrial base and
infrastructure of our country, the department is offering one UG course and one PG course in
the thrust areas of Thermal Sciences, Manufacturing Engineering, Automobile Technology,
CAD/CAM & Engineering Design. The department is also offering one PG Diploma course in
Advanced Manufacturing Technology in collaboration with Central Manufacturing Technology
Institute (CMTI), Bangalore.
The courses have been designed in such a way that students get the necessary depth in
the chosen area of specialization while absorbing the necessary back up knowledge so as to
maintain the required breadth in the general Technological Scenario. Special efforts have been
made to enable the students to translate the theoretical knowledge with laboratory & field
level experience.
The department also takes in students for research leading to Ph.D. degrees.

A Departmental Training & Placement Cell is in force to help final year students in
finding projects and placements in reputed industries. The cell makes sure that the students
are placed in Core companies and projects are done in reputed industries. Periodical HR meets
are arranged by the cell through which companies and students are brought to a common
forum to know about each other, thereby improving the chances of placements for the
students.


 

The students graduating from this department have a very wide placement prospects.
They are place in automobile sectors, power & energy sectors, manufacturing & assembly
sectors, and Engineering design sectors, and in various other fields of Mechanical Engineering.

  c
  
The overall content of the program discusses all the basic fundamentals related to the
field of Mechanical Engineering. The advanced courses are as well discussed in the III and IV
year study. There are electives and free elective which the students can select by themselves,
helps them to understand the latest trends in the field of Mechanical Engineering and in other
fields of Engineering. Various laboratories and practical sessions are conducted for the
students to make them understand the real application of the theory subjects which the study
in the class. To sum up, the students graduating from the Department of Mechanical
Engineering will have an equal blend of theoretical knowledge and practical knowledge in the
core subjects as well as in ancillary subjects.

c 
For the benefit of the students and to give them training in various fields the
department has signed MoUs with some organizations who can train our students to acquire
some specific skill sets.
Ô? CMTI, Bangalore.
Ô? Sri Ramakrishna Advanced Training Institute (SRATI), Coimbatore.
