Mechanical Engineering @ ACET- Student’s 1st Choice in Engineering after 10+2

Mechanical Engineering remains the first choice among the students during Admissions-2014 at ACET. Students showed a keen interest in the mechanical engineering, well termed as evergreen branch of the engineering.

In 2014 admissions for total 180 Mechanical Engineering seats 573 applications were received. The admission was done on the merit basis. Gaurav Tejpal, Dean Admissions & Head, DME explained the reason for Mechanical Engineering at ACET being 1^st choice of students after 10+2 as, the keen dedication of the institute and department to facilitate the students with the advanced technology being used in the mechanical engineering from time by time.

Now day’s Mechanical Engineering became very advance with the inception of new technology and electronics in this field. Mechanical engineering provides a common platform for many allied branches like Automobile, Robotics, Manufacturing, Solar Energy, Aeronautics and so on.

Keep up with the times is a key element for the survival in this fast growing world. So to meet the global requirements, Department of Mechanical Engineering at ACET has established a number of “Centre of Excellence (COE)”. It is the first department in the north India to have 5 COE’s.

Department has established a COE in Robotics and Industrial Automation, which is a boon for the students making career in this field. It provides practical training to the interested students, besides their classroom teaching.

Automobile is fast growing sector of engineering, which basically depends upon the mechanical engineering. Department also has a COE in Advanced Automotive Technologies, which provides the practical knowledge to the students about the advanced technologies that are being used in this sector, making them industry ready.

Also to touch the sky heights, department has established a COE in Aero-modeling. This will be beneficial for the students dreaming about to be part of aeronautics in the future.

Non- renewable energy resources are depleting at an alarming rate because of the over exploitation by the mankind. Renewable resources like solar and wind energies should be used for the sustainable development. To motivate the students towards the use of solar energy along with research orientation programme, department has established a COE in Solar Energy.

To meet the requirement of the society regarding the Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning, department has established a centre of excellence in Refrigeration and Air- Conditioning.

In these different COE’s students can learn with the practical, for the better understanding.

Quality work is a key to success in every field whether it is industry, education or business world. In this context DME is offering Green Belt certification on Six Sigma to all the students, making them industry ready.

DME is also equipped with smart classes in collaboration with Pearson, where students can learn with presentations and videos, making them better understand.

DME is also associated with IIT- Madras under QEEE scheme. With this scheme students can attend live lectures of the expert professors from IIT’s.

Department is also offering NPTEL service to all the students for better teaching and learning experience.

In today’s industrial and business world practical demonstration is must for the students to make them ready for the future challenges in the industry. For this purpose major thrust is given on the Six-Month industrial training and major projects.

Department also offers central facility for the 1^st year Workshop Training.

If we talk about the placements, these are the best in the DME from the last couple of years. This is due to dedication of the Placement Committee of the department. Students are placed in reputed companies like Hero, Daikin, Modi Group, ITL, Minda Group, Aarti Steels and so on. DME is offering best placements in the Punjab for Mechanical Engineering students.

This is all due to the Excellent Placements and Advanced Facilities provided by the DME at ACET, which makes the department evergreen and first choice in the region for students.
