B.Tech

B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering is the flagship programme of the Department. The graduate mechanical engineers apply scientific principles to the analysis, design and synthesis of various products and processes. The range of products include: automobiles, airplanes, electronics, surgical instruments, toys, building products, sports and recreational equipment etc. In all the cases, mechanical engineers design the products with the required functionality to high quality standards at the best possible price and in ways that are environmentally-friendly.

B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering is existing from the inception of the Institute in the year 1959. This programme is of 4 years duration (8 semesters). The course work in the first two semesters is common to all branches of engineering. The core Mechanical Engineering courses are introduced from the 3rd semester onwards. Besides, elective courses are offered from 5th semester onwards. The electives permit one to choose his/her area of interest within the broad areas. The laboratories are equipped with state of the art equipment to impart necessary hands-on practice. The students also carry out project work during the last two semesters based on the knowledge acquired.

M.Tech (Automobile Engineering)

The programme was started in the academic year 2008-2009. The programme covers the basic subjects related to Automobile Engineering such as Prime Movers, Automobile Body Structures, Vehicle Dynamics, Automotive Materials, Sensors and Actuators and Manufacturing Processes, Advanced CAD and so on. The first two semesters cover course work facilitating the students to learn both fundamentals and recent advances in various core and elective subjects supported by laboratory courses, which include Automotive Engines Laboratory, CAD Laboratory and Simulation Laboratory. The third and fourth semesters are earmarked for dissertation Work. Students are generally encouraged to do their projects in the industry, wherever there are chances of exposure to various avenues in Automobile Engineering. Those, who work in the Institute, take up both theoretical (analytical or numerical) and experimental dissertation works.

M.Tech (Computer Integrated Manufacturing)

Individual processes to exchange information with each other and initiate actions. Through the integration of computers, manufacturing can be faster and less error-prone, although the main advantage is the ability to create automated manufacturing processes. In a CIM system functional areas such as design, analysis, simulation, planning, and purchasing, cost accounting, and scheduling, inventory control, and distribution, product life cycle management, supply chain management are linked through the computer with factory floor functions such as materials handling and management, providing direct control and monitoring of all the operations. To achieve automated manufacturing CIM uses technologies like FMS, ASRS, AGV, Robotics, Mechatronics, automated conveyor systems and computer aided techniques like CAD, CAE, CAM, CAPP, CAQ, PPC, ERP, a business system integrated by a common database. After thorough discussions with Industries and experts, the need for a graduate course on C.I.M is recognized and thus an M.Tech program in C.I.M is introduced in the MED in the year 2000 with due permission of AICTE.

M.Tech (Machine Design)

The global industries have realized that the ability to consistently define and deliver products to the market place more rapidly and efficiently than their competitors can become a source of sustainable competitive advantage. These companies have moved their view to product design and development capability as an end to end business process that can be greatly enhanced through reengineering and can be continuously improved through total quality management.

In this environment in the year 2006 the Department of Mechanical Engineering NIT Warangal started an M.Tech Programme titled Machine Design to prepare the human resources.

The first two semesters cover course work facilitating the students to learn both fundamentals and recent advances in various core and elective subjects supported by laboratory courses, which include Numerical Simulation Laboratory, CAD Laboratory, Computer Aided Analysis Laboratory and Rapid Prototyping Laboratory. The third and fourth semesters are earmarked for Dissertation Work. Students are generally encouraged to do their projects in industries, wherever there are chances of exposure to various avenues. Those, who work in the Institute, take up both theoretical (analytical or numerical) and experimental dissertation works. The students are able to publish their work in journals or conferences of repute.

The primary objective of the programme is to train the students in Machine Design field by imparting broad based training on the state of the art engineering design methods analysis tools and manufacturing processes. With this training we expect the students to become powerful practitioners of product designers. The knowledge gained by the students in this course is an effective and practical, immediately applicable to today's design challenges in the industry.

M.Tech (Manufacturing Engineering)

Manufacturing engineers apply scientific principles to the production of various products. The range of products include: automobiles, airplanes, tractors, electronics, surgical instruments, toys, building products, sports and recreational equipment etc. In all the cases, manufacturing engineers design the products with the required functionality, to high quality standards at the best possible price and in ways that are environmentally-friendly.

The Department started M.Tech in "Design and Production of Machine Tools" in the year 1966 and it was renamed as Manufacturing Engineering in the year 2000. In the first two semesters the students study relevant core courses and a good number of elective courses. The electives permit one to choose his/her area of interest within the broad spectrum of courses. The laboratories are equipped with state of the art equipment to impart necessary hands-on practice. Last two semesters are dedicated for the dissertation work relevant to the course.

M.Tech (Thermal Engineering)

This programme was being offered with the title "Design and Production of IC Engines and Gas Turbines" till the year 2000. The programme emphasizes application of fundamental principles of Thermal Engineering for various applications, which include Steam Power Plants, Gas Turbine Power Plants, Petroleum Refineries, Solar Appliances, Cooling of Electronic Equipment and Devices, Automobiles, I.C. Engines, Refrigeration Plants, Air-Conditioning Systems, Cold Storage Units, Propulsion Systems and so on. The first two semesters cover course work facilitating the students to learn both fundamentals and recent advances in various core and elective subjects supported by laboratory courses, which include Computational Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, Thermal Engineering Laboratory and Energy Systems Laboratory. The third and fourth semesters are earmarked for Dissertation Work. Students are generally encouraged to do their projects in industries, wherever there are chances of exposure to various avenues in Thermal Engineering. Those, who work in the Institute, take up both theoretical (analytical or numerical) and experimental dissertation works. The students are able to publish their work in journals or conferences of repute.

Ph.D

The department offers full time and part time Ph.D programmes in Mechanical Engineering. The admission to Ph.D programme takes place in both odd and even semesters of an academic year. The notification for the Ph.D admissions is advertised in the institute website as well as in leading national news papers. The minimum qualification and other details for the aspiring students can be obtained from the advertisement. The candidates are selected through a written exam and/or interview. All the regular Ph.D students are paid stipend by the Institute. The department has been recognized for Ph.D programme under QIP.
