Mechanical Engineering in MSRIT

Mechanical Engineering:

Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest branches of engineering. It is also referred to as the ‘mother’ branch of engineering. Another appealing feature of mechanical engineering is that the application base of this field of study is extremely broad and diverse. Almost all inventions during the ancient period and a vast majority in the modern era are direct contributions of one or the other application of mechanics.

Mechanical Engineering is one of the major activities in the engineering profession and its principles are involved in the design, study, development and construction of nearly all of the physical devices and systems. Continued research and development have led to better machines and processes helping the mankind.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Madras is as old as the Institute itself. Its impact on the Institute and on society is easily demonstrated by noting the alignment of the department's evolution with key events and technological advances in the India and elsewhere. Today, the department of mechanical engineering of IIT Madras attracts and features an extraordinary rich diversity and quantity of talented individuals, with nearly 700 undergraduates, 500 graduate students and over 60 faculty members. The impressive array of students makes the department as the largest in the country and one of the largest in Asia.

Job Prospects of Mechanical Engineer:

Mechanical Engineering finds applications in all fields of technology. They could work in many industries including private or public sector industries of various types, and their work varies by industry and function. With the rapid rate of expansion in the industrial sector, the employment potential for mechanical engineers is very high.

In the government sector, fresher’s could join as Junior Engineers and go up the ladder as Assistant Engineers, Assistant Executive Engineers, Executive Engineers, Superintendent Engineers and so on.

Mechanical engineers are required in automobile, chemical, electronics, steel plants, oil exploration and refining, technical wings of armed forces, space research organization, etc. Candidates with post graduate degree or an additional management degree could find work in administrative and managerial positions in government departments or public and private sector industries or do research as well as teaching in Research and teaching institutes. They could also opt for technical sales / marketing or work as independent consultants.

Mechanical Engineering graduates have several job opportunities in Marine engineering. After undergoing a basic pre sea training or studying marine engineering or nautical science course, they can join as engine cadets, marine engineers or navigating officers. Mechanical Engineering graduates can also opt for M.E/ M.Tech programs in Marine engineering, Petroleum engineering, Aerospace/ Aeronautical engineering or Nanotechnology.
