S.N. Patel Institute of Technology & Research Centre established in 2008 with 240 intakes. Mechanical Engineering was one of the streams since inception with 60 intakes. In 2010, intake increased to 120. The intake of the department revised to 60 from academic year 2022-23. Post Graduation course in Production Engineering with 24 intakes was sanctioned in 2014. Department committed for continual improvement striving to achieve excellence in engineering education, industrial research and working with society. Students are always considered to be center for 360 degree growth. Department thrust to provide an education that helps student to gain practical and intellectual experiences which will be helpful to serve society and understand their needs. The department has an excellent industrial interaction and organized Industrial Visits based on various subject fields. Department has also organized STTP, FDP, Workshops, Seminar and Expert Lectures to improve extra skills and knowledge of students as well as Faculties. The focus of the department has been in developing the state-of-art computational and experimental facilities for the teaching and research Department consist of all well equipped laboratories with sophisticated instruments.

Message from Head of Department

Mechanical engineering is versatile and evergreen branch of engineering. Mechanical engineer can work in various specialized area like automotive system, aerospace engineering, design engineering, dynamic system and control, power plant engineering, etc. and most importantly in software field also. Department has well qualified and experienced faculties. Department has well developed laboratories. Department follows the student centric teaching-learning approach and imparts quality engineering education through classrooms and Laboratory teaching. Department has procured Solid works software with perpetual license to make the students experts in software knowledge to take competitive advantage for better job opportunities. Expert lectures and industry visits are arranged regularly for the students. Moreover, Mechanical Engineering Department regularly arranges seminars / workshops on current trends related to various domains of Mechanical Engineering by inviting external specialized speakers.
