The Department of Mechanical Engineering, established in 2003, offers a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Master's in Energy Engineering. The department boasts 23 qualified faculty members, including 12 with PhDs, and is committed to research and innovation. Faculty members supervise Ph.D. students under Anna University.
The department integrates cutting-edge technologies, offering software such as Solidworks, ANSYS, MATLAB, AutoCAD, and others in areas like Computer Aided Design, Manufacturing, and Energy Engineering. It fosters a research-driven environment with state-of-the-art facilities, including PV Solar Systems, Bio-fuels, Gasifiers, IC Engine with a data acquisition system etc.
MEGX, the department’s student association, organizes seminars, workshops, and events with industry professionals. The Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE), Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and Indian Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ISHRAE) chapters are active in promoting professional development. The Energy Club focuses on energy conservation and renewable energy, with an ongoing energy audit process at the college.
Since 2010, the department has been offering a PG course in Energy Engineering to address India’s growing energy needs. Students are encouraged to apply their knowledge through projects and field experiences, with research facilities supporting renewable energy initiatives like a bio-gas plant, gasifier, solar photo voltaic, solar drier etc.

The Mechanical Engineering Department has earned accreditation from the National Board of Accreditation (NBA), ensuring that its programs meet the highest standards of quality and rigor. This accreditation reflects the department's commitment to providing a comprehensive and industry-relevant education in mechanical engineering. Furthermore, the department has been granted Autonomous status, which grants it the flexibility to design and implement curricula that are responsive to emerging trends and technological advancements in the field. This autonomy enables the department to continuously innovate and adapt its teaching methodologies, fostering a dynamic learning environment for students while maintaining a strong focus on research, practical skills, and industry collaboration.
