Department of Mechanical Engineering was established in 1999. The Department offers BE program in Mechanical Engineering with an intake of 30 students. It also offers M. Tech. Program in Product Design and Manufacturing with an intake of 18 students. The Department has established a Research Centre recognized by VTU. Thirteen Research Scholars have been awarded Ph.D. Degree from VTU through this Research Centre, and around 03 scholars are pursuing Ph.D. program at present.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering has a good team of dynamic, well-qualified, and experienced faculty members. A few faculty members carry significant Industry experience. There are a significant number of technical staff to assist members of faculty and students in their academic activities. The department regularly organizes workshops, seminars, project exhibitions, student paper presentations, etc. apart from organizing the conferences and seminars. Students are encouraged to carry out the project in various companies like ISRO, HAL, ADA, MICO, IISC, etc., the students also participate and get sponsorship from KSCST, VGST, VTU, etc., for their project work. The Department conducts competency and skill development, Life skill development, and Innovation and entrepreneurship development courses for the staff and students on a regular basis.

To rejuvenate the mechanical engineering program, the department is offering newer courses in the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science, IoT, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, 3D printing, electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, Robotics as applied to mechanical engineering. These courses are being offered as value-added courses as they may not find a place in our regular curriculum. In the Laboratories students are trained on simulation-based courses like FEM, CFD, Matlab Simulations, Kinematic, and Dynamics to keep the students abreast of present-day industrial requirements.
