The Department of Mechanical Engineering was established in 1997 with an annual intake of 60 students in the undergraduate programme and has grown by leaps and bounds since its inception. The annual intake was increased to 90 in 2009, 120 in 2013 and 180 in 2018. The post-graduate programme in Robotics and Mechatronics was started during the academic year 2022-23. A well-planned block of 4243 square meters on three floors is self-sufficient with excellent infrastructural facilities. Currently, the department is under the able guidance of Dr. Vinay K B.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering has state-of-the-art laboratories, these laboratories not only satisfy the curriculum requirements of the students very lucidly but also provide additional facilities to enhance the practical knowledge. It has excellent computing facilities and resources in terms of both hardware and software. The department has 250 computers installed with a wide range of commercially available software packages. It has the ISHRAE-VVCE showcase, the first of its kind in Karnataka.

The department has able and dedicated faculty members from all specializations of mechanical engineering. The faculty members are not only qualified and experienced but have admirable adeptness, service-mindedness and versatility in both teaching and research. 26 faculty members have their doctoral degrees, and 10 faculty members are pursuing Ph. D. The Department is extremely proud to have a Research Center recognised by Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Belagavi.
