About Us

Mechanical Engineering Department offers a two years postgraduate programme in Heat Power Engineering affiliated to Savitribai Phule University Pune University (SPPU). This course has been initiated in the academic year 2012-13. The mission of Department of Mechanical Engineering is to provide a value-added quality education to post graduate students through its M.Tech. course in Heat Power Engineering.

The objective of PG programme in Heat Power Engineering is to create technically competent manpower that will be able to take up challenges posed by rapidly changing technologies both in industry as well as R&D. We believe in providing state of the art teaching-learning environment which will inspire students to get an education beyond engineering. This is achieved through rigorous teaching process integrated with innovation and research. The research interests of the department include electric vehicle systems, computational fluid dynamics, renewable energy, refrigeration and air-conditioning, computational and experimental heat transfer as well as inter-disciplinary areas of mechatronics and electro-magnetics.
