Department of Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering is one of the oldest branches of engineering and is called an evergreen branch because of the steady demand for mechanical engineers in industry.

Almost all the inventions of the ancient and modern eras are direct contributions of Mechanical Engineering. The branch caters to Automobiles, Railways, Aviation, Thermal Power Plants, Hydro Power Plants, Textiles, Petroleum, Chemicals, and a variety of other industries. It involves the design, study, development, and construction of nearly all physical devices and systems.

The Department along with its strong faculties provides an academic platform of international repute that is dedicated to train and build educated minds. We believe that besides learning from books and examples, learning practically help to achieve soundness of knowledge. With this view, the department operates with a prerogative of combining classroom teaching with the state-of-the-art laboratory facilities for all the subjects. Complete attention is paid towards the exercise of prudence and care in the management of resources to render basic and specialized engineering education necessary to keep pace with the present and emerging requirements of the society.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering, AKS University, Satna runs Diploma, undergraduate and post-graduate programs in the form of Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, B. Tech. and M. Tech.( Production, Industrial Engineering, Renewable energy, Thermal, Design ) along with Doctoral with its potent workforce of fifteen faculty members.

The Department promotes students to participate in competitions related to technology and innovation. Our undergraduate students are involved in research works on the development of several product prototypes. Noteworthy attempts include Development of electric arc machine, Ecart, Manufacturing of composites by waste plastic.
