Professional Memberships
With the outstanding performance in academics, the cherry on the cake for the department is its student clubs and the professional body memberships.
Society of Automative Engineers (SAE) : SAE is a non-profit body that promotes & undertakes initiatives for knowledge dissemination & advancement in mobility technologies catering to land, sea, air & space. The society based at USA, spreads its wings over 150,000 memberships in around 100 nations.
BAJA : The BAJA SAE Series an event for the undergraduate engineering students organized globally by the SAE. It tasks the students to design, build, test and validate a single seater four wheeled All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) in which around 500 student teams from various parts if the country. The team invincible 2.0 from the department is composed of 25 hard working and dedicated students from the final and pre- final years. The sedulous team work has been appreciated by the Chief Minister of the State, Sri.N.ChandraBabu Naidu during his visit to the college.
SUPRA: Under the SAE, is another event named SUPRA, which throws forward a competition of the design and fabrication of a racing car. Team Svayukti emerged out with glorious success, taking onwards the legacy of the college standing in the 27th among 250 teams across the country.
ELECTRIC SOLAR VEHICLE CHALLENGE (ESVC): TEAM Vikranta, the all energetic 25 membered team made their mark by securing the 5th position in the E-BAJA’15 from a competition of 300 odd teams. The team has also participated in the Asia’s Largest Solar Vehicle Racing Event and was bestowed upon with the “Best Appreciation Award”.
GO-KART:Enthusiasm is all that a Go-Kart puts in. “National Go-kart Design Challenge – 2016” is an event that deals with the designing and building of a Go-Karting Vehicle. “Team Aadhya”, a 16 membered all-girls team from the department have showed all their prowess by standing 40th in the National level. Also, the team has proved its worth in the prestigious “ Vishnu Kart Championship’16, projecting the spirit of team work.
(ISHRAE): “Indian society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air conditioning (ISHRAE) was started from 2016”.
Vision
To produce globally competent Mechanical Engineers with strong fundamentals, sound problem solving skills with practical exposure and professional ethics to serve the industry and societal needs.
Mission
The Department of Mechanical Engineering of M V G R College of Engineering in tune with its vision would offer under-graduate program in engineering to prepare students for a successful career as Professional Mechanical Engineer in a very dynamically changing industry by:
|
M1. |
Impart high quality education to the students with emphasis on fundamental concepts and practical application and are whetted to meet the challenges of the industry to mature enough into highly capable leaders in their chosen area of interest. |
|
M2 |
Inculcating strong mathematical & computing fundamentals among students that form the baseline for modern day solutions with emphasis on design development. |
|
M3 |
Inculcating among its students the need for continuous learning and the skills necessary to continue their education, develop professionally and push the boundaries of knowledge long after their graduation. |
|
M4 |
Imbibing in its students a deep understanding of expected professional, ethical and societal responsibilities. |
|
M5 |
Inculcating among its students a rich and reasonably comprehensive skill set with practical exposure in putting the same to use for problem solving in a team setting enabling them to be valuable contributors to the Mechanical industry & society at large immediately after graduation. |
|
M6 |
Providing a stimulating environment for faculty & students alike that fosters a culture of knowledge seeking and sharing & appreciation of intellect helping all involved to grow both as individuals and as Professional Mechanical Engineers. |
The Choice Based Credit System allows students to move to Institutions across the world with flexibility to transfer their credits.The proposed CBCS allows the students to choose from core electives, free electives and audit courses. 29 elective choices are provided out of which a student has to choose any 8 elective courses that he/she would pursue in various semesters starting from 1 elective in 5th Semester, 1 elective in 6th Semester, 5 electives in 7th Semester and 1 elective (a self-study course with optional attendance requirement) in 8th Semester.
The electives are divided into 3 thrust areas, Business Intelligence, Networks, Enterprise Architecture and 1 Generic group, with each of the thrust areas having 7 electives and generic group having 8 options. Any student should choose 1 of the 3 thrust areas in which he/she will do 4 electives thereby indicating that thrust area as his/her major choice. The thrust area has Level 2 courses four of which are advanced, are designed to cater to Industry standards and are dependent on two Level 1 courses. One Level two course has no dependency.Any student should also mandatorily choose 2 electives from the generic group. He can go to a maximum of 3.
He picks 1 of these 2 groups as his/her minor group and picks 1 Level 3 or 1 level 3 and 1 level 4 from that group. This way, the course structure has been designed to allow complete flexibility to students while at the same time, preserving dependencies between the core (prerequisite) courses and the advanced(Research/Industry oriented) courses.
