BSc Engineering (Hons)

in Mechanical Engineering

With strong focus on imparting theoretical knowledge and competency based education, the BSc. Engineering (Hons) Degree in Mechanical Engineering incorporates students to gain hands on experience in real life assignments, group projects and co-curricular activities. The students are to attend 6 months internship during their vacation as a partial fulfilment of their degree.

Programme outcomes

  • Apply knowledge of mathematics, basic sciences, engineering fundamentals and engineering specialization to solve complex engineering problems related to mechanical engineering.
  • Identify, formulate, research literature and analyze complex engineering problems related to mechanical engineering reaching valid conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences.
  • Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components, processes related to mechanical engineering that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal and environmental considerations.
  • Investigate complex mechanical engineering problems using research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions.
  • Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources and modern engineering and IT tools to model and predict behavior of complex mechanical engineering systems with an understanding of the limitations.
  • Apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess the impacts of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, societal, legal, cultural, health & safety issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
  • Apply broad knowledge of sustainable development concepts and practices required for dealing with issues related to professional engineering practice.
  • Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practice.
  • Function effectively within a multidisciplinary, multicultural and diverse team as a team member, manager or team leader.
  • Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
  • Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and economic decision-making and apply these to one’s own work as a member and or a leader in a team, to manage projects and in multi-disciplinary and multicultural environments setting.
  • Recognize the need for and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning through continually extending and building on professional understanding and skills acquired during the undergraduate learning.

Why choose Mechanical Engineering?

Mechanical engineering is the study and development of machines and systems that have useful applications. Mechanical engineers apply the principles and problem solving techniques of engineering from design to manufacture and marketplace for any product or solution. Mechanical engineering involves systems that use principles of motion, energy, and force ensuring the designs to function safely, efficiently, and reliably at a competitive cost. It is a highly diversified field of engineering.

It involves areas such as mechanics, thermodynamics, combustion and energy systems, aerodynamics and fluid mechanics, design and manufacturing and mechatronics. The mechanical engineering degree has a set of state-of-the-art subjects intended to provide the required knowledge and hands-on skills. The degree program includes lectures, labs, engineering design work and projects. The Mechanical curriculum has been designed in consultation with the industry and academic experts in the field. Hence, the graduates could pursue careers in both academia and industry.
