Overview
The Mechanical Engineering Department at Saintgits College of Engineering is known for its top-notch education in engineering. We focus on nurturing creativity and academic excellence. We offer a Bachelor’s program in Mechanical Engineering which is accredited by
the National Board of Accreditation since 2016, a Master’s program in Machine Design, and a Ph.D. program, all recognized by national authorities. Our team consists of 45 faculty members, and 480 students.
Our Approach to Education: Our faculty members are experienced and highly qualified. We believe in a balanced education that combines theory with hands-on training. Our curriculum is carefully crafted to provide a strong theoretical foundation along with practical skills. We also offer additional courses to meet industry demands. Our labs are equipped with the latest technology, giving students real-world experience. We have labs for advanced
measurements, research, heat transfer, and manufacturing technology. We provide software like CATIA V6, SOLIDWORKS, ANSYS, and MATLAB for student use.
Research and Innovation: We encourage research and development among our faculty and students. We explore various areas including renewable energy, advanced materials, and thermal systems. We take pride in our published journals with high-impact factors. Additionally, our faculty and students have successfully published patents, showcasing our commitment to innovation. We also encourage our students to participate in research projects, publish papers, and present at conferences.
Industry Collaboration: We collaborate with a few leading industries of Kerala State like V-Guard, Floormate Rubber Products Pvt. Ltd , etc to provide our students with practical insights. We organize activities, visits, internships, and guest lectures to bridge the gap between academia and industry. Additionally, we have associations with professional bodies like PMI (Project Management Institute) Kerala Chapter, SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), IIW (Indian Institute of Welding), etc., enhancing our students’ exposure to industry standards and practices.
Project Funding: Our department has received project funding from various Indian national and state-level agencies like CERD (Centre for Engineering Research and Development), ANERT (Agency for Non-conventional Energy and Rural Technology), KSCSTE (Kerala State Council for Science, Technology & Environment), IEI (Institution of Engineers India), SERB (Science and Engineering Research Board), AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education), etc. This funding supports our research endeavors and facilitates innovative projects undertaken by our faculty and students.
Community Involvement: We’re dedicated to helping our community. Our faculty members and students work on projects to solve local problems and promote sustainable development. By teaming up with local groups and government agencies, we put our engineering skills to use for the greater good. Many such socially relevant projects have won accolades and appreciations from various esteemed organizations, including government bodies, non- governmental organizations (NGOs), industry partners, and local communities.

HOD’s desk
I warmly welcome you to the webpage of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Here you will find the latest news about the department, its exceptional achievements and updates of students and faculty. The UG programme in the department of Mechanical Engineering is certified with NBA Accreditation status.
APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (APJAKTU) instituted in the year 2015 is bringing radical change in the engineering and technology education in the state with the major objective of producing employable engineering and technology graduates from engineering colleges. In line with the guidelines and policies laid down by the university the department is practicing concept-oriented outcome-based teaching-learning system. In the creative and attractive curriculum, we strive to assimilate the latest developments in Mechanics, Dynamics, Thermo-fluid, Robotics, Mechatronics, Energy, and Manufacturing. It is another feather in the crown of the department that the department occupies 5th position among the private self-financing engineering institutions in the state in terms university results.
Our strategy for ensuring that our department remains well-positioned to maintain its phenomenal growth includes attracting highly competent scholars as faculty members, expanding our honors tracks, and continuing to review and redefine knowledge transfer process, with an eye towards elevating the department to highly regarded position in the state level. We attempt to provide our students with a cheerful, productive and satisfying experience at all levels of their program of studies to discover the incredible world of Mechanical Engineering.
