POSTGRADUATE PROGRAM
The department offers postgraduate courses leading to the degree
of Master of Science (MSc) and PhD in Mechanical Engineering. The
postgraduate degree program was started on part time basis in 1983
and since then MSc degree has been awarded to more than 300 students.
During 2007-2014, 15 PhD degrees have also been awarded.
The postgraduate degree program envisages equipping students with
skills to make analysis and design such that they can be employed
as professional engineers in virtually any sector of the Mechanical
Engineering industry. The objective is to provide specialist in-depth
education in a specific field of engineering through taught course
modules, applications course work, design exercises in some cases
and an individual research thesis. The course material is taught
in a way that makes students immediately productive within an industrial
environment in the field of study that they have chosen.
The research activity within the Department has been developed around
a series of research themes, several of which are closely related
to topics on which MSc and PhD courses are run. The department has
earned a stature of eminence and respect among academicians as well
as practitioners due to continued research excellence.
