B.E. in Mechanical Engineering
The B.E. in Mechanical Engineering at Chitkara University equips students with a comprehensive understanding of mechanical systems, including design, optimisation, and performance improvement. Students master CAD, dynamics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer, preparing them for technical or management roles in various industries, including multinational corporations.
Program Structure
The curriculum focuses on two key areas: energy and fluids, and structures and motion. In the first year, students complete foundational Applied Sciences courses. In years two and three, they study engineering mechanics, materials science, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics.
In the final year, students engage in systems-level design and capstone projects, and can choose electives to specialise further. The program integrates laboratory work throughout, providing hands-on experience to complement theoretical knowledge. This practical exposure ensures graduates are equipped to tackle real-world engineering challenges.
Post finishing the foundation courses in Applied Sciences in the first year, students take courses from the structures, Engineering mechanics, mechanics of materials, and materials science and from the fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer in the 2nd year and 3rd year program.
In the final year, students take a systems-level design course and capstone design experience, and have the opportunity to broaden and deepen their technical background through elective programs. Additionally, the students in the Mechanical Engineering program gain experience in laboratory settings through experiments associated with all of their applied sciences and with most of their Engineering science courses.
