The Department of Mechanical Engineering in Kautilya Institute of Technology & Engineering and School of Management (KITE-SOM), Jaipur was established in 2004 and was affiliated to the Rajasthan University and was then lately got affiliated to the Rajasthan Technical University, Kota.
The Faculty
With its devoted faculty members the mechanical department has shown a lot of progress in the past year. Hundreds of engineers have graduated through the four year program that the ME Department offers and occupy prestigious positions in industries nationwide.
The Infrastructure
Mechanical Engineering Department of the college has fully equipped Workshop, Dynamics of Machine Lab, Material Science Lab, Thermal Engineering Lab, Fluid Mechanics Lab, Production Lab, and Strength of Materials Lab, Computer Graphics lab. The department has made a cad/cam lab for the computer aided and advanced knowledge added with all the software made available for the purpose of better understanding of the theoretical and practical terms and concept taught in the mechanical branch. The branch provides a facility of 20 computer in CAD/ CAM lab and 3 software labs including “Solid Works” software. We have installed instrumentation lab equipped with 6 equipments as per the university syllabi and thereby fulfilling the required norms of the university. The department also has the i/c engine lab equipped with 4-stroke petrol engine (assembling and disassembling), Differential, Gear box, Fuel pump, 2-stroke petrol engine assembling and disassembling), For the practical knowledge and advanced understanding of the 1st year students about the branch and its working, department has installed and arranged vice carpentry, new work table, working tools etc. so that the students get better chance to work practically on the things for proper grip over the subjects. In the year 2010, third batch from the department will complete its degree. The institute is also going to offer an intensive two years M.Tech program soon.
Industrial Visits
It is also worth mentioning that the department organized four industrial visits for the students to understand appropriately about the external working arena and works. These include the place of repute such as Bosch Ltd., Jaipur and Kamal Coach Works, Jaipur
The Achievements
Every year Mechanical Engineering students from the college are being placed and working in various leading firms and industries from the country. The stats shows a descent increment in the number of placements of the students in different companies every year. On the other hand amongst the big achievements of the department, the highlighting feature is the project presentation by 4 students of 2009 batch in IIT, Mumbai and their grab over the 2nd prize.
MESO
Mechanical Engineering is an engineering discipline that was developed from the application of principles from physics and materials science. The field of mechanical engineering is considered among the broadest of engineering disciplines. The work of mechanical engineering ranges from the depths of the ocean to outer space. The field requires a solid understanding of core concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, materials science, and energy. Mechanical engineers use the core principles as well as other knowledge in the field to design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems, motor vehicles, aircraft, water craft, robotics, medical devices and more.
MESO is the organization formed by the students of the Mechanical Engineering Department in Kautilya Institute of Technology & Engineering and School of Management (KITE-SOM), Jaipur consistently working for the betterment and future prospect of the students. The organization will be organizing several seminars, workshops and other activities from various leading firms and companies that will keep up the students aware of the present scenario in the field of engineering and help them to cope up with the problems that can be faced in this competitive world. The MESO is also publishing its newsletter – “Mechanza” quarterly every year comprising of the articles and issues from around the world. The newsletter will also include the current affairs and the news from the campus of the college. Also the newsletter will be available for reading it on the internet online at kite-meso.blogspot.com, the official blog site of the MESO archiving the issues published in the newsletter with full description and details.
