Department of Mechanical Engineering
Established in 1980, the Mechanical Engineering department provides education and training in mechanical engineering.
Dr. B.M. Nandeeshaiah heads the department. He holds a PhD from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay.
The department is accredited by NBA and has received funding from DST, AICTE and TEQIP. It was the first to have a recognized R&D Center for pursuing research activities. Vijay Zaveri Research Centre for Composite Materials is the first of its kind among the local colleges.
A fest called mAITri in which AIT stands for Ambedkar Institute of Technology is conducted by the department's students every year for freshers.

Famous quotes containing the words department of, department, mechanical and/or engineering:
“I believe in women; and in their right to their own best possibilities in every department of life. I believe that the methods of dress practiced among women are a marked hindrance to the realization of these possibilities, and should be scorned or persuaded out of society.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
“The African race evidently are made to excel in that department which lies between the sensuousness and the intellectual—what we call the elegant arts. These require rich and abundant animal nature, such as they possess; and if ever they become highly civilised, they will excel in music, dancing and elocution.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
“We are caught up Mr. Perry on a great wave whether we will or no, a great wave of expansion and progress. All these mechanical inventions—telephones, electricity, steel bridges, horseless vehicles—they are all leading somewhere. It’s up to us to be on the inside in the forefront of progress.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.”
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
