CAD / CAM

INTRODUCTION

The 2 year postgraduate program stresses on the fundamental concepts of CAD / CAM in mechanical engineering and stands as a cornerstone in the field of engineering. This field that emerged some years ago is a promising field of engineering, research and development. The department aims to provide solid foundation for understanding the changing roles of mechanical in the society and encourage students to apply their knowledge in solving a variety of problems through laboratory and project work. The program enables students to develop greater interdisciplinary expertise, which will better equip them for jobs demanding these skills in the workplace.

The department is equipped with CAD / CAM lab which are designed with structured cabling in tune with the cyber age revolution to support the teaching activities. The center provides 24 hours internet connectivity through broadband at 2Mbps offered by Reliance Network.

Department Goals
