In order to pursue industry relevant research and development activities, the department has established laboratories in collaboration with industries. The department has continually maintained a close liaison with universities and industries in India and abroad, through strategic collaborations and research projects.
Bearing in mind the burgeoning requirements of industry, the unique Sandwich UG programme was commenced in the year 1983. In order to facilitate engineers build on their current abilities and gain specialized knowledge and skills to advance in certain fields, five Masters degree programmes in Engineering Design, Industrial Engineering, Computer Integrated Manufacturing, Energy Engineering, and Lean Manufacturing were introduced during the years 1962, 1978, 1991, 19 respectively. The Department of Mechanical Engineering was established as one of the five founding departments of PSG College of Technology, with an undergraduate (UG) programme in Mechanical Engineering in the year 1951. In alignment with the vision of PSG, the department also fosters creative thought process and provides opportunities to our students to think out of box in order to mould world class professionals, capable of contributing to the welfare of the society. We also maintain a close liaison with a large number of Universities, industries within and outside the country, through collaborations and research projects. We have well-equipped, advanced laboratories like TIFAC-CORE Product Development Centre, Festo-PSG Training Centre for Pneumatic Automation, DST-FIST Noise and Vibration Laboratory, RANE -Centre of Manufacturing Excellence etc., which are established in alliance with government agencies and pioneering industries.
The department fulfils the need of around 850 undergraduate students, 150 postgraduate students, full-time and part-time research scholars. This, coupled with a highly skilled and accomplished team of over 60 faculty enables us to propel students to greater heights. We, at the department of mechanical engineering endeavor to offer our students, the state-of the art resources and facilities.
