To be Recognized Globally as a Lead in Mechanical Engineering through Excellence in Education and Innovative Research in Emerging areas.
To Provide Quality Education and Research with the State of the Art facilities to the Student: This is accomplished by:
1. Enhancing the Knowledge and Expertise through Professional Programmes and Research Works.
2. Endowing the Students with Academic Leadership, Communication Skills and Professional Awareness towards social Commitment
Established in the year 1984, the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Kalasalingam Academy of Research and Education is one of the oldest and the most prominent departments, dedicated to building a strong fundamental foundation and a thorough engineering orientation. It ensures to provide its students with an effective learning experience with state-of-the-art laboratories, experienced faculty, and thought-provoking teaching pedagogy. The curriculum is highly demanding and thoughtfully designed to incorporate all the latest development in the field. The department is constantly striving to attain excellence in academics, teaching, innovation, industry-oriented research, and consulting work with service to society. The programme is accredited by NBA for six years under the Tier-I category of the Washington Accord. The programme is also accredited by ABET, an international accreditation body for engineering and technical education.
The department offers a B.Tech program in Mechanical Engineering. The Courses have been created by a specialized team of academics and all the B.Tech. The students of Mechanical Engineering are trained with SAP training. The curriculum of Mechanical engineering aims at creating the right mindset which ensures the creation of innovative, thoughtful, and socially aware engineers.
We believe in the practical nature of the domain and focus on learning by doing it practically. The department has active and vibrant students’ chapters of major professional bodies such as the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and the National Safety Council (NSC) India. Through these societies, students get a hands-on experience of real-world challenges and a platform for organizing, participating, and developing engineering dreams. The Department also has a dynamic coordinating section completely dedicated to student’s Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and Patents. Students are regularly participating in the “National and International events”
To ensure a smooth and effective practical learning experience, the Mechanical Engineering department at Kalasalingam Academy of Research and Education has established Robert Bosch Center of Excellence, Materials Processing Laboratory, Advanced Machining & Measurement Laboratory, and Machine Dynamics & Condition Monitoring Laboratory under Level 1 of the DST-FIST program (Fund for Improvement of Science & Technology Infrastructure in Universities & Higher Educational Institutions).

This moulded them to develop 10 innovative products in 5 years. They have also got 23 patents and 55 publications under their name. The students have done wonders in the field of extracurricular activities apart from academics. The students took part in many National and International Events” and bagged lots of medals. The students of B.tech- Mechanical Engineering are offered a One Credit Course from the Industry and International Professors. The department invites resource persons from industries and abroad to handle one credit course in order to raise awareness and bring industrial skills to our students (15hours).
Most of the students from the B.Tech Mechanical programme doing their final year Project/ internships at industries/ International universities for a semester.
