B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering is an undergraduate program that focuses on the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is one of the oldest and broadest branches of engineering and plays a key role in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, energy, and manufacturing.
Key Areas of Study:
- Mechanics: Understanding the behavior of materials and structures under various forces, including statics, dynamics, and fluid mechanics.
- Thermodynamics: Study of energy, heat, work, and their transformation in systems like engines, refrigeration, and heating systems.
- Manufacturing Processes: Techniques involved in producing mechanical components, including machining, casting, welding, and additive manufacturing (3D printing).
- Strength of Materials: Analyzing how materials respond to stress, strain, and external forces, critical for designing safe and efficient structures.
- Machine Design: Focus on designing and creating mechanical systems and components like gears, engines, and turbines.
- Control Systems: Study of systems that manage mechanical processes such as robotics, automation, and HVAC systems.
- Materials Science: Understanding the properties of materials used in mechanical engineering, including metals, polymers, and composites.
