Machines rule the world today. They have become so indispensable a part of our lives, be it in home or in office, we simply take them for granted. From wrist watches to tower clocks, from toy cars to concords, from electric shavers to earth movers, from car jacks to derrick cranes, from coffee machines to concrete mixers, from simple motors to tunnel borers, and, as well, in almost endless list of applications their presence is pervasive and their use inevitable. The discipline of Mechanical Engineering encompasses all the theoretical input needed to design machines, from Principle of Lever to Theory of Machines, and all allied concepts and practice, from electricity and thermodynamics to welding and numerical controls, needed to design new machines.

Machines have become more sophisticated in features and appearance, absorbing every new discovery and technology in the discipline of mechanical engineering and allied fields. The Mechanical engineers have always faced interesting challenges to design new machines and devices to unique and emerging situations and have always come up with wonderful innovations like porklines and nanocars.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering in Sudharsan Engineering College teaches and trains its students to meet all kinds of field challenges with technical confidence. The department keeps acquiring latest machines and instruments every year to add to its already complete training stock in the workshops and laboratories. The faculty members are amply qualified and well-experienced in industry. They ensure that their students receive industrial relevant knowledge and training along with curricular fulfillment.

Vision

• To develop the department into an advance center of learning by synergizing teaching, learning and research to produce competent Mechanical Engineers with an exposure to interdisciplinary engineering knowledge.

Mission

• Produce job ready engineers in the field of production, design, thermal, industrial and automation engineering by imparting basic sciences and engineering education.

• Nurture student with creativeness, innovativeness and entrepreneurship skills to develop out-of-the-box thinking respond effectively to the needs of the industry and the ever changing world scenario.

• Conduct high quality research, provide industrial consultancy and offer state of art undergraduate programme.

Library Details of Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineers require a solid understanding of key concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, energy and manufacturing. They use these principles in the design and analysis of automobiles, aircraft, heating and cooling systems, buildings and bridges, industrial equipment & machinery, and many more. The Library exhibit inside the Mechanical Engineering Department has been played a vital role to assist student for fulfilling their demand of knowledge. It consist all books which are adverted as per Anna University syllabus.

Books

To assists the improvement of student knowledge Department Library consist over 300 books which covers the syllabus of Anna University, Chennai. Also the Library having important books for reference.

Journals

Department Library plays a vital role to provide vast knowledge to students to upgrade their technical points via National and International Journals. It has around 100 national and international journals to facilitate to enrich students analytical skills for their final year projects and mini projects.

CD's VCD's and Multimedia

Students are encouraged by e-teaching through Aakash Tablets. The idea is motivated by IIT-Bombay via Aakash Project. Most of the students has been worked out their subject related works via Aakash tablets and over 50 types of CD's VCD's. Students were provided over 100 tablets for their academic purpose in Mechanical Engineering Department.

Project thesis & University Question papers

Apart from that, Department library having over 500 no.of project thesisfor stimulating students technical knowledge to help innovative project related thoughts. Also it having previous university question papers for 5 years to help students to score good marks in University Examination.
