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:
“... the Department of Justice is committed to asking one central question of everything we do: What is the right thing to do? Now that can produce debate, and I want it to be spirited debate. I want the lawyers of America to be able to call me and tell me: Janet, have you lost your mind?”
—Janet Wood Reno (b. 1938)
““Which is more important to you, your field or your children?” the department head asked. She replied, “That’s like asking me if I could walk better if you amputated my right leg or my left leg.””
—Anonymous Parent. As quoted in Women and the Work Family Dilemma, by Deborah J. Swiss and Judith P. Walker, ch. 2 (1993)
“A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn.”
—C. Northcote Parkinson (1909–1993)
“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)
