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.
