About Mechanical Engineering

In the practice of their profession, engineers are continually faced with two questions - will it work, and will it last? The Mechanical Engineer is confronted with these questions for a wide spectrum of devices which may vary in size and complexity from a miniature roller bearing to a large thermo-electric generating plant, and which must function in environments ranging from the relative calm of a home to the hostile conditions of outer space. Given this breadth of applications, it is not surprising that the undergraduate program in Mechanical Engineering at FAMT emphasizes a far-reaching scientific and technical range of subjects.

      OBJECTIVES OF MECH ENGG DEPTT.

• To prepare students for successful careers and lifelong learning.

• To train students thoroughly in methods of analysis including the  mathematical and computational skills appropriate for engineers to use when solving problems.

• To develop skills pertinent to the design process, including the students’ ability to formulate problems, to think creatively, to communicate effectively, to synthesize information and to work collaboratively.

• To teach students to use current experimental and data analysis techniques for engineering applications.

• To instill in the students an understanding of their professional, social and ethical responsibility.

• To produce Mechanical engineers possessing a firm understanding of science, mathematics and engineering, needed to carry out complex tasks which are important to a modern technological society.

• To design, conduct, and analyze experimental tests of practical systems and products; and make students to understand and work on same so as to develope the technical diversity required to develop new products and processes, and use this understanding to work effectively in multi-disciplinary teams.

• To prepare our students to adapt to the rapid advances and changes in technology, and to serve as agents and leaders in effecting these changes, while being cognizant of the needs and concerns of the society at large.
