Mechanical engineering is the application of physics and mechanics to design and manufacture a product to the marketplace using principles of force, energy and motion. It is the broadest and mother of all engineering disciplines, and interdisciplinary program for success. Department of Mechanical Engineering at MIT Thandavapura was established in the year 2016. Under the mentorship of Dr. Y. T. Krishne Gowda, the department of Mechanical Engineering is stepping towards achieving new heights. At present, the department offers Undergraduate degree program with a well-qualified and experienced team of faculty specialized in different fields of Mechanical Engineering committed to provide quality education. The Department has well-equipped laboratories such as Design, modelling and analysis, Heat transfer, metrology and measurements, material testing, fluid mechanics, foundry and forging, energy and machines lab. The Department gives priority for the students to take up challenging tasks and engage themselves development activities for the good of society. Since the College is based in the prime industrial location of Mysuru, close to Kadakola Industrial Area and Nanjangud Industrial area, the department has the geographical advantage of Industrial Association.
