About the Department

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is one of the largest departments in the Institute, with 62 full-time faculty membes and over 50 full-time administrative and technical support staff. The department offers B.Tech., B.Tech. + M.Tech. (Dual Degree), M.Tech., and Ph.D. degree programs, with over 650 undergraduate, 200 M.Tech. and 250 Ph.D. students on roll. The department has over 30 instructional and research laboratories, equipped with some of the state-of-the-art scientific instruments and systems.

The vision of the department is to be one of the top rated departments in the world. To achieve this goal, the department strives to generate high quality graduates through rigorous coursework and cutting-edge research activities. The students in the department are exposed to the problems faced by today’s societies, and are trained to address those problems through innovative thinking to develop appropriate technological solutions. The faculty members of the department drive these activities through their teaching and diverse research programs, covering numerous facets of Mechanical Engineering Science and Applications. In addition to the regular academic work, the students of the department are encouraged to participate in co-curricular activities.

The department has evolved over time to keep up with the ever-increasing challenges in technology development, while maintaining a strong base in the fundamental aspects of Mechanical Engineering. While much of today’s research in Mechanical Engineering is of interdisciplinary nature requiring knowledge from numerous other science and engineering disciplines, the research work of the faculty members of the department is categorized into three broad streams: Thermal and Fluids Engineering, Design Engineering, and Manufacturing Engineering.

Traditional Thermal and Fluids Engineering aimed to enhance (or reduce) heat transfer, reduce pressure drop in fluid flow, and in general obtain enhanced efficiency from power producing devices (hydropower plants, gas and steam power plants, automobile engines) as well as refrigeration devices. A knowledge of thermodynamics an...

Mechanical Engineers are often expected to have the ability to analyse and design systems based on the ability to predict the motion and/or deformation of rigid bodies and deformable distributed mass systems. The Design Engineering stream at IIT Bombay is aimed at providing students exposure, at various levels, to build such ability in...

Product development activities worldwide are facing several challenges due to stringent demands on product quality, reliability and productivity. Globalization has added a new dimension to this scenario, needing interoperability between distributed cyber physical systems. To meet these challenges, manufacturing engineers are f...
