As a pivotal engineering discipline at TIET, Mechanical engineering serves as a source for engineering inventions and developments. With wide applications and career opportunities in spacecrafts, aeroplanes, hybrid and autonomous cars, rapid prototyping and 3D printing, reverse engineering, robotics & automation, the field seeks to imbibe multi-varied aspects of engineering for futuristic development.
Global collaborations with international forums like Society of Automobile Engineers (SAE) Formula Student, Europe and the University of Waterloo, Canada stand to upgrade student experiences to great heights
The department has aligned its curriculum with the Trinity College Dublin (University of Dublin, Ireland). The curriculum is well-planned and aligned with futuristic industry demands encouraging the active participation of students in academic activities.
MED benefits greatly from its NBA & ABET accreditation and funding which fuels its high-end research and innovation. Cherished collaborations offer exchange programmes, joint research initiatives and dual campus degrees to students.
To be among the top ten departments in the country for higher technical education of global standards in Mechanical Engineering and its specialties.
Welcome to the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology (Deemed to be University) TIET, Patiala.
Mechanical Engineering is perhaps the broadest of all engineering disciplines and it involves a great deal of interdisciplinary works. Mechanical Engineers use the principles of science and knowledge of materials, design, thermal aspect and manufacturing to continuously develop new technologies and products. Creation of robots, autonomous vehicles, airplanes, vehicles, medical devices, micro sensors and many others require a considerable involvement of mechanical, mechatronics and robotics engineering.
The department of Mechanical Engineering at TIET is one of the pioneering departments of the Institute and came into being in 1956 along with the establishments of Institute. In the last six decades, the department has made a steady progress and growth in stature. The department offers three Bachelor’s courses: B.E. Mechanical Engineering (1956), B.E. Mechatronics Engineering (2012) and B.E. Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (2023), a Master’s course: Mechanical Engineering with specialization in CAD/CAM Engineering and Thermal Engineering and a PhD programme in different specialized areas. The BE Mechanical Engineering and BE Mechatronics Engineering of the department are accredited by NBA and the B.E. Mechanical Engineering programme is also accredited by ABET.
B.E. Mechanical undergraduate programme is carefully crafted to offer elective focus in three major areas: Automotive Technologies, Robotics and Smart Manufacturing. B.E. Mechatronics & Robotics and AI undergraduate programmes are sensibly created to offer elective focus in seven major areas: Robotics and Edge AI (NVIDIA Collaboration), Robotics and Smart Industry (Festo Collaboration), Advanced Robotics, Automotive Technologies, Industry 4.0, Electronics and Instrumentation, Software
The department regularly revises its curriculum to align it with developments in technology and ever-growing needs of industry. There is a significant industry connect which helps us to make our teaching-learning processes more effective and industry oriented. As a part of the academic contemporization to bring our teaching standards and practices at par with the best in the world; our curriculum has been harmonized with Trinity College Dublin. This contemporization process also includes training of entire faculty of the department on educational technologies, joint research by faculty of two institutions and student exchange.
The department has well equipped labs which are regularly upgraded and modernized with latest equipment and software and the department has industry sponsored labs. The competent and experienced faculty of the department is extensively involved in cutting edge research; in addition to effective classroom teaching, they support beyond the classrooms and mentor the students for their careers. Faculty members also continuously work for their professional development by attending and organising conferences and faculty development programme.
We are committed to continuously improve every aspect of teaching-learning process and research on realise our vision- “To be among the top ten departments in the country for higher technical education of global standards in Mechanical, Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering and its specialities.”
Fusioning research, innovation and knowledge
Each programme offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering ensures advanced attention to theoretical concepts as well as practical lessons and hands-on training.
Delivering excellence via varied research avenues, trained faculty and innovation.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering has an ensemble of faculty adept in different subject fields and specialisation such as industrial engineering, manufacturing processes, thermal engineering, advanced machining, nanofinishing, geometric modelling, robotics, controls, industrial metallurgy, etc. The department faculty works continuously towards contemporising the academic structures and mechanisms. The teaching-learning regime is built and modelled on the lines same as Trinity College, Dublin.
The department faculty is involved in several landmark research projects related to creation of robots, airplanes, cars, medical devices and micro sensors. The faculty undergoes regular training on educational technologies towards its contemporisation goal encouraging student exchanges and joint research by faculty of the department and Trinity College, Dublin.
Delivering excellence via varied research avenues, trained faculty and innovation.
