Mechanical engineering graduates are always in huge demand. Here is a look at some of the top recruiting industries that are always on the lookout for skilled mechanical engineers - Machine tools manufacturing industries, Pumps and Motors manufacturing industries, Automobile Industries, Aerospace Industries, Robotics White Goods Industries, Power plants and Foundries and many more. When we talk about the different job roles for mechanical engineers, the same can be broadly classified into the following few segments
Design - In this role, the mechanical engineers would be responsible for drafting technical sketches either with tools or computers.
Production - The production job role usually involves consultation and supervision in the manufacturing of machines and their components.
Analysis and Testing - In this job role, mechanical engineers should be responsible for analysis and testing of machine parts, systems and equipment.
Installation & Maintenance - The job role involves knowledge of installation of machine parts in the industrial location, along with their proper maintenance as per the provided specifications.
Research – In this job responsibilities would include researching and implementing findings for the development of new products using the latest technologies.
To excel in emerging areas of mechanical engineering by imparting knowledge, developing relevant skills, and inculcating strong human values.
Our Mission
Imparting domain-specific technical knowledge through an industry-driven curriculum.
