The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Kathir College of Engineering, established in 2009, is dedicated to fostering innovation, technical excellence, and responsible engineering practice. Mechanical Engineering deals with the development of products, processes, and power systems at scales ranging from microscopic mechanisms to large and complex industrial structures. Mechanical engineering principles influence every stage of the conception, design, development, and manufacturing of human-made systems that involve mass, motion, forces, and energy.
The department offers a B.E. programme in Mechanical Engineering and an M.E. programme in Manufacturing Engineering, both designed to equip students with strong theoretical foundations and advanced practical skills. Mechanical Engineering graduates from Kathir College of Engineering gain the capability to design and manufacture a wide spectrum of products, including electric vehicles, engines, automotive systems, aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, renewable energy systems such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power equipment, as well as medical devices, prosthetics, and biomedical instruments.
