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.

“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)

“No sociologist ... should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time. One cannot with impunity try to transfer this task entirely to mechanical assistants if one wishes to figure something, even though the final result is often small indeed.”
—Max Weber (1864–1920)
“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)
