Mechanical Engineering

RIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering is working closely with the industries to keep pace with the latest advancements in the manufacturing field. Recognising the fact that natural resources like diesel and petroleum are depleting very rapidly, RIT has established an Electric Vehicle Lab in association with IIT, Guwahati so that the engineers could switch over to new trends. In this manner we innovate and work to bridge the gaps in advanced manufacturing research by adopting new methods. Such timely changes help us to retain our number one position in the list of Best Engineering Institutes/ Colleges in Uttarakhand.

RIT supports the fast-track commercialization of next-generation technologies and processes. By working in tandem with some of the best industries in SIDCUL, we also get the access to the state-of-the-art facilities dedicated to the R&D needs of manufacturers and other facilities that have the flexibility to adapt to those needs, and thus our students get a chance to see and understand such advanced operational facilities from close proximities. A recent example is a visit to Hero MotoCorp, SIDCUL.

Holding seminars on revolutionary standards of Industry 4.0, industrial visits, and internships are among such processes that enhance the experiential learning of our students. The current research activities include the manufacturing process and simulation, manufacturability analysis, and processing of composite materials. Labs are equipped with traditional and hybrid machining tools viz. lathe, milling, shaper, welding, Keplar Turbines, Francis Turbines, Robotic Systems, etc. Department makes use of the central facilities that contain a range of sensors and microcontrollers for measuring, monitoring, and control of different manufacturing processes and the adoption of new technologies has given us the status of not only the Best Engineering College of Dehradun but also the Best Technical Institute of Uttarakhand.
