Mechanical
is an Enggineering Discipline that involves the application of principle of
physics for analysis, design, manufacturing & maintenance of mech. System.
It is one of the highest employment generator among all the engineering streams
due to wide spread range of technology .Mech. engineering finds application in
all fields of technology. It is one of primitive branch of engineering which
have remained always in demand & continue to be in future. This is why
Mech. Trade is known as an evergreen trade. As the industrial sector has
drastically risen in pace in last decade; the need for mechanical engineering
has increased exponentially.
Practically every company that designs and
produces a product employs a mechanical engineer. But mechanical engineers can
also be found in research labs, the military, government, and in other
professions such as medicine, law or teaching.
Most mechanical engineering jobs require
design experience. When a need comes about for a new or improved product,
companies call upon mechanical engineers to do the job. Engineers have to push
beyond the limits of their previous work and use innovative technology to meet
project requirements successfully.
A second major area of employment for mechanical
engineers is manufacturing. Manufacturing jobs cover nearly everything involved
in developing a product, from selecting the appropriate materials to choosing
the correct machinery to manufacture the product. Most mechanical engineers in
this industry work for equipment manufacturers, aerospace companies, utilities,
material processing plants, transportation companies, and petroleum companies.
They also work with small firms, consulting practices, universities, and
government research labs.
Specific assignments might involve research
and development, design of equipment or systems, supervision of production,
plant engineering, administration, sales engineering, the testing and
evaluation of machines and entire plants. Some mechanical engineering titles
and their functions include:
Automotive Engineer: Mechanical engineers
design many car parts for the automobile industry. As an automotive engineer,
you could solve transportation and safety problems by creating better and more
efficient engines or by developing improved safety features.
Biomedical engineer: Mechanical
engineers work with a variety of medical professionals to design mobility aids,
prosthetics, and artificial organs.
Consulting: Once mechanical engineers have gained
significant on-the-job experience and developed a high level of expertise, they
might choose to work for themselves as consultants or independent contractors.
Here they can work on projects of their choosing for clients they respect. The
consulting field offers opportunities in large and small engineering service
firms and in private practices.
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
(HVAC) engineer: In this field, engineers design refrigeration systems for making
frozen foods, or air-conditioning and heating systems for businesses and
industrial buildings, residential homes, autos, hospitals, and schools.
Nuclear engineer: The design of nuclear
power plants requires the services of a mechanical engineer. The engineer must
understand the fundamentals of nuclear design, know how to operate the plant
efficiently, and evaluate the environmental factors associated with nuclear
plants.
Robotics engineer: A mechanical
engineer may design machines that build other machines. For instance, a
robotics engineer may be involved with creating the devices that are used in
assembling automobiles. Engineers are concerned with the robot's structure, its
joint mechanisms, bearings, and heat transfer characteristics.
Teaching: A desire to help mold the next
generation of engineers motivates some mechanical engineers to move into
academic careers. Engineers in colleges oversee research activities, manage
laboratories, and mentor students. They also write and publish books and
technical papers about mechanical engineering.
Mechanical engineers can find employment at
virtually any institute where innovation takes place. They commonly work in the
government, research, industry, military, teaching, management or consulting
sectors.
The government agencies that typically hire
mechanical engineers include the U.S. Navy, Patent and Trademark Office,
International Trade Commission, Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Energy .
From developing toys to prosthetic legs, the
types of projects you can be a part of are as vast as your imagination. With a
degree in mechanical engineering, diversity is the key. You can wind up working
in a laboratory or an outdoor construction site. Remember, nearly every
mechanical device was created by a mechanical engineer so the possibilities for
employment are virtually endless.
Training and Placement
Cell
The Placement and Training Cell, in the true
spirit of hands on exposure, facilitates the students for the campus
Recruitment drives as well as International Educational liaisons. With the
cooperation of in house experts and the experts drawn from professional
agencies, our Training and Placement Cell organizes certain orientation
programmes such as Reasoning Tests, Aptitudes Tests, Group Discussions, Mock
Interviews, Brain storming Sessions etc. on the regular basis in order to
motivate and develop the personality of the students.
The Cell organizes summer internship programmes
for students to provide them with hands-on experience and introducing them to
the professional environment.
Our training and placement cell arranges training for
students in industries for 6 weeks at the end of 4th semester and
for 6 months in 7th or 8th semester. The students of the college
undergo their training at various industries as HMT, Sonalika, R& D
centre,GNA phagwara,RCF kapurthala, , Maruti Udyog Ltd.,
L&T,Havells, DRDO.
The Training &
Placement Cell firmly believes in 'Industry-Institute Interaction'. In order to
accomplish 'Industry-Institute Interaction' it organizes technical talks and
national seminars to provide a platform for the budding engineers to interact
with professionals from various industries. It encourages visits to the
industries by the college students. It arranges for industrial problems to be
worked on by students as part of their projects. The college has signed MOUs with many
industrial organizations and industrial chambers. Technical paper presentation
contests are held in collaboration with industries to discuss new developments
and trends.
