DR. SAJITH T.AView Profile

The Department of Mechanical Engineering was established in 2010, and since then, it has been an integral element of KMEA Engineering College. The department provides a mechanical engineering undergraduate programme that is approved by APJ Abdul Kalam University. Yearly 90 students are admitted, and it has produced mechanical engineers of the highest calibre.
Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest and most diverse engineering specialties that deals with the creation, manufacturing, and use of machinery. Understanding of fundamental concepts like mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, structural analysis, and electricity is necessary for this subject. The teaching and learning process is improved with the help of an academic advisory committee comprising the external experts from academic and industrial specialists. Young, exceptional engineers who are academically excellent in both theory and practise are moulded by the department.
The department features well-equipped labs where the students get practical training. To mention a few, there are labs for machine tools, heat transfer, refrigeration and air conditioning, internal combustion engines, fluid mechanics and machinery, CAD/CAM, CNC machines, metrology, and others. Additionally, our division has a CNC turner facility centre that is permitted for Tuner Factory & Engineering's commercial manufacturing. Additionally, the department provides consulting in the area of CNC turning equipment.
The department and Universiti Teknologi MARA in Malaysia have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to facilitate student exchange programmes and academic and research interactions. In order to provide our students internship opportunities and industry-academic interaction, the department has also inked MOUs with Sunsenz Solar, Popular Automobiles, Poomkuddy Automobiles, Amy Jewellery and Designers, J and G Toolings Ltd, and Tritech Design Academy. We also collaborate with the State Resource Council (SRC) to provide our students value-added courses in MEP & QAQC.
Students and faculty are assisted in their research and projects by the departmental research centre. By taking part in research-focused programmes and quality improvement trainings, all faculties actively work to enhance their standards. The projects of our students demonstrate their technical quality and expertise, and they have won awards in contests held at the state level. Faculty members have publications in highly regarded international journals. The department has launched a new venture called GARAGE, which will serve as a platform for turning the concepts of our students into cutting-edge automobile learning in the present.
The department has an official student organisation called "ARME" that routinely organises co-curricular and extracurricular activities. Department participates actively in ISHRAE (professional body involved in air conditioning and refrigeration). The Department is a leader in the entrepreneurship and start-up industries. Our cell for ongoing education is fantastic. To improve the technical abilities of young people, the cell provides a CNC turner course through PMKVY and ASAP. These courses demonstrate the department's dedication to social issues.
The department routinely holds FDPs, workshops, seminars, and invited speakers. The Department's biannual newsletter, MECHVOICE, which highlights the department's accomplishments during the current semester, is published. The department is also a leader in extracurricular pursuits. The participation of the pupils in academic, co-curricular, and extracurricular activities is encouraged. Conferences, tech fests, and sports events all see enthusiastic participation from our students.

Vision

The Mechanical Engineering Department strives to become a premier academic and research centre to mould competent and innovative mechanical engineers and dedicated to the betterment of deprived socio-economic sections of the society

Mission

Thank you for visiting the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The Department aspires to combine superior educational standards with industrial service. Our goal is to be known as a cutting-edge and premier mechanical engineering department. Our objective is to give students a blend of academic and real-world experiences that will prepare them to meet a range of social requirements.
Students in our department receive the greatest possible training to work in the mechanical engineering field as Project Managers, System Analysts, Team Leaders, or Entrepreneurs using their own creative approaches. I have no doubt that many of the students in our department will go on to become nationally and internationally recognised experts in the field of mechanical engineering and bring honour to our department.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering is made up of three main components: diligent students, a youthful, active staff whose knowledge covers the spectrum of fields in the mechanical engineering stream, and a highly healthy work culture.
We have a strong sense of self-confidence and self-worth, and we have a sense of dedication to and duty for the homeland that we are entrusted to serve. The Department of Mechanical Engineering believes in career development, mind enrichment, and offering a great experience that lasts a lifetime. This is the psychology behind the youthful and active department.
I have no doubt that the department's students will demonstrate a high degree of professional ability in their various fields, therefore bolstering the department's credibility.
I wish them all the best of luck!
