PES Polytechnic college, Shivamogga

Department of Mechanical Engineering

Program Overview

The Diploma in Mechanical Engineering is one of the oldest disciplines with a rich history of Engineers who have graduated across Polytechnics in Karnataka. Most of the graduates have either joined the industry after a Diploma or pursued higher education; either of the pathways has led them to become industry leaders. With the advent of technology, Mechanical Engineers are expected to be conversant with not just their discipline, but also other disciplines to be able to succeed in their careers. The Department of Technical Education has developed a new C20 curriculum in partnership with industry that enables students to become employees, engineering researchers or employers. The program provides broad-based and diverse engineering training in areas such as material science, solid and fluid mechanics, instrumentation and control, product and system design and manufacturing. You will also be trained for a variety of engineering roles, in industries ranging from Automotive, Mechanical, Manufacturing, Engineering design and development

Facilities/Labs
