PROGRAMME Intake
B.E Mechanical Engineering 60
M.E Thermal Engineering 18

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Excel Engineering College, Komarapalayam is established in the academic year of 2008-09 with a yearly intake of 60.The intake of the department has been increased to 120 per year from the year 2012 onwards. Also PG Course M.E Thermal Engineering is introduced in the academic year of 2014-15 with yearly intake of 24.

The Department is continuously striving to achieve excellence in Education, Academic and Industry Oriented Research as well as consultancy work with service to the society. We aim to provide our students with a perfect blend of intellectual and practical experiences that helps them to serve our society and address a variety of needs.

The Mechanical Engineering discipline involves the application of principles of physics for analysis, design, manufacturing and maintenance of Mechanical System. It requires a solid understanding of key concepts including Mechanics, Kinematics, Thermodynamics and Energy. Mechanical Engineers use these principles and involve themselves in design and analysis of Automobiles, Aircraft, Heating and Cooling systems, Water Craft, Manufacturing plants, Industrial Equipments and Machinery, Medical Devices and more.

Warm and heartiest Greetings from Department of Mechanical Engineering Department. The college has been simply exponential in its growth as it has been actively involved in various activities that have brought to light the hidden talents of the students and staff. Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest and broadest engineering discipline, and plays a significant role in enhancing economic growth, enjoyment and overall quality of life throughout the world. Mechanical Engineering is a professional core engineering discipline that deals with the design, manufacture and maintenance of any product of any industry.

Our department has a team of dedicated highly qualified and experienced faculty, good infrastructure and lab facilities. We are striving hard continuously to improve upon the quality of education and to maintain its position of leadership in engineering and technology. The core values of the department help the students to develop their overall personality and make them worthy to compete and work at global level. Our faculty are continuously attending various training programs, publishing research papers, books and filing patents. Many are pursuing research. Our department has been conducting seminar / conferences, value added courses to keep the faculty and students abreast with the latest developments in the field of technical education. We have MoU with industries to offer internships during the course of study. We are happy to share that many students are pursuing higher studies in leading universities in India and abroad. Our students have also occupied top positions in multinational companies. I am certain that our students will prove to be an invaluable asset to an organization.
