DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
About
Mechanical engineering is one of the major areas in the engineering and its principles are involved in the design, study, development and construction of physical devices and systems, along with controls. Continued research and development have led to the development better machines and processes helping the mankind to ease the tasks & to achieve the never thought possible dreams.
The spectrum of professional activity for the mechanical engineering graduate runs from R&D to manufacturing, production, sales and marketing. Moreover, the comprehensive training and education attained by mechanical engineers are often called upon to assume managerial roles. Industry is in need of qualified mechanical engineering technologists that, upon graduation, are able to apply state-of-the-art tools in the areas of computer-aided design, finite element modeling and analysis, and the concepts of advanced mechanical design to the creation of sophisticated machines and systems.
Established in the year 2014 with an initial intake of 60 students, the Department of Mechanical Engineering has progressed by leaps and bounds in all respects in a short span of time. The Department is an outstanding example of the college's insistence on quality education appropriate to the needs of industry. The department faculty consists of well-qualified and experienced professionals having a proven track record in academics and industry. The faculty is well prepared to train competent Mechanical Engineering professionals in the field of engineering to meet requirements of industry and research organization academics etc.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
The department of Mechanical Engineering at MDIT offers 4 year B.Tech (Bachelor of Technology) degree programme in Mechanical Engineering. The first batche of the Department (Batch 2014-18) was affiliated to University of Calicut, Kerala. From 2015 onwards, all engineering colleges in Kerala were unified in affiliation to A P J Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU), and henceforth our B.Tech degree programmes too. Therefore, our B.Tech degree curriculum is in accordance with the scheme and syllabus of University of Calicut for batche admitted in 2014 and then in accordance with the scheme and syllabus of KTU for batches admitted from 2015 onwards.
The B.Tech curriculum of KTU covers broadly the areas of Mechanical Engineering, Economics, Life skills and Sustainable engineering. Core subjects in Mechanical Engineering are under the categories of Material science and technology, Thermal and fluid sciences, Applied mechanics, Production engineering, Industrial engineering and Management, Mechanical systems, Design and analysis. The syllabus comprises of various theory and laboratory courses under these categories. The theory courses comprises of Core courses and Elective courses. Each core theory course has a laboratory component, which provides a balanced mix in the quality of theoretical concepts taught in classrooms and experimental verification of the same. Overall, the undergraduate KTU curriculum in Mechanical Engineering programme is spread over 8 semesters and designed to have a total of 180 credits.
