PRINCIPAL MESSAGE

Dr.V.Rajamani M.E., Ph.D Principal

I am very proud and delighted to release the 1st edition of the ‘’IGNITION-2014-15’, the Newsletter of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, which embraces the Achievements of the faculty members and the students. I am very happy to meet you through this page. Vel Tech Multi Tech has stood above the rest in its approach to education and in its pedagogies. The ways we teach and the ways our students learn are unique and creative. Education is not an act of acquiring knowledge but learning a skill to lead life and forming one’s personali- ty. Many constructive efforts have been taken to improve our college re- sults. As campus placements are progressing, efforts to groom the stu- dents to serve the society are also in pace. I can boldly say that the De- partment of Mechanical Engineering has excelled in every initiative that has been undertaken and have stood together in facing the challenges in realizing quality education. I wish to record my hearty congratula- tions to those who have brought laurels to the institution and I appreci- ate all of you for working together as a team for the success of this Newsletter.

VISION OF THE DEPARTMENT To become a centre of eminence in educating students to become triumphant mechanical engineers. MISSION OF THE DEPARTMENT

 To endue the students with the fundamentals of mechanical engineering with a passion for lifelong learning of industry practices.

 To propagate lifelong learning.

 To impart the right proportion of knowledge blended with attitudes and ethics in students to enable them take up positions of responsibil- ity in the society and make significant contributions. ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

 The Department of Mechanical Engineering is a fledgling department start- ed in the institution during the year 2006.  This Department was started with an objective to impart high quality education in Mechanical Engineering with the initial 60 and increased to 120 in the year 2008.  The department has state-of-art labs and qualified Faculty Members (2professors, 2 Associate Professors and 20 Assistant Professors) with passion for both teaching and research.  Students are taught with the help of various teaching aids like smart classrooms, LCD projector, NPTEL, Educational DVD’s, Video Conferencing, EDUSAT, Language Communication lab and knowledge Resource centre.  Our Students have visited various industries like Ashok Leyland, Wabco, TVS, TAFE, Hyundai Motors Company, Heavy Vehicles Factory, Addison Tools Limed, etc.,  Our students have undergone Implant Training in various industries such as India Piston, Ashok Leyland, Greaves Cotton Limited, Chennai Port Trust, Tata Motors, Ford, Royal Enfield, etc.,

DEPARTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

 PATENTS : We have filed our patent for Free Wheel Engine project, Guided by our faculty, Mr. Paul Linga Prakash.  NATIONAL KART RACEING CIRCUIT : Students participated in the Na- tional Kart Racing Circuit in Bhopal and won prizes.  RESEARCH LAB : HYUNDAI Sponsored Research Laboratory Facility is set up to inculcate the knowledge of the students beyond syllabus catering to Industry Needs  PUBLICATIONS : 16+ Publications in SCOPUS Indexed and 105 Publications in other referred journals.  PROFESSIONAL SOCIETY : Active Member of SAE and Active Participation in Professional Body Events  INNOVATION : Students have established themselves as strong Innova- tors and won many awards participating across the nation.  HIGHER EDUCATION : Continuous Motivation from the Department for students to pursue higher studies.
