Highlights
Basic Engineering Workshop
Quite often engineers are called upon to be part of design and fabrication of various items of day-to-day use. Familiarity with the common fabrication methods, use of hand tools and measuring equipments will be an advantage in this regard. Basic Engineering workshops provide hands on experience to the students in using hand tools and measuring instruments in trades like Fitting. Carpentry, Sheet metal, Foundry and Plumbing
Fluid Mechanics And Hydraulic Machines Lab
Fluids like water, oil etc. have an important role in many areas of Engineering. Flow characteristics of fluid, transportation of fluids from place to place, power generation from fluids are some of the topics in which engineering needs to have knowledge to be successful in this area.
Heat Engines Lab
Petrol, Diesel and Gas Engines are the major prime movers in the area of transportation and power generation. Petrol and Diesel Engines are so common in daily life, that knowledge about the working principles of them is a must for engineering.
Thermal Engineering Lab
Any country aspiring towards industrial development cannot ignore the use of Thermal Energy involving generation, transmission and utilization. The Thermal Engineering lab aims at imparting students with an insight related to heat conduction, heat transfer, refrigeration etc. by conducting experiments on devices designed for the same.
Machine Tools Lab
Machine Tools are unavoidable set of machines in any plant engaged in Production / Manufacturing activity.Good knowledge regarding the diverse use of various Machine Tools and their operations will keep an engineer in high esteem on the production floor.
Metrology Lab
Precision and Accuracy are two key factors that determine the success of scientific or Industrial ventures. In the Metrology lab students are provided with opportunity to study and use precision instruments like Callipers, Vernier gauges. Optical devices, Tool makers Microscope, Auto Collimator etc.
CADD Lab
In these days much of the Design and Drafting activities are taken over by computers. Any Engineer working in the field of Research and Development, Design and Production must be familiar with the immense potential in the field of Computer Aided Design and Drafting.
Minor Programs
The department is offering minor programmes for various departments. The objective is to permit a student to customize their Engineering degree to suit their specific interests. Upon completion of an Engineering Minor, a student will be better equipped to perform interdisciplinary research and will be better employable. Engineering Minors allow a student to gain interdisciplinary experience and exposure to concepts and perspectives that may not be a part of their major degree programs.The different streams/baskets of minor programmes of the department are:
- Mechanisms and Machines Engineering
- Fluid and Thermal Engineering
- Materials and Manufacturing Engineering
Currently 24 students of Civil Engineering Department is pursuing third basket minor programme.
Professional Bodies
Innovation And Entrepreneurship Development Centre (Iedc)
The innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Centre (IEDC) is an initiative of Kerala Startup Mission under Startup Bootcamp Scheme of Government of Kerala. Under this scheme financial assistance is given to our college for supporting innovative products and thereby build an entrepreneurial eco-system inside the campus.
The mission of the IEDCs is to “develop institutional mechanism to create entrepreneurial culture in academic institutions to foster growth of innovation and entrepreneurship amongst the faculty and students”.
Department programmes are assisted by the IEDC Cell by providing funds and guidance.
SAE India
SAE INDIA is an affiliate society of SAE International, registered as an Indian nonprofit engineering and scientific society dedicated to the advancement of mobility community in India. As an individual member driven society of mobility practitioners, SAEINDIA comprises members who are individuals from the mobility community, which includes engineers, executives from industry, government officials, academics and students. Principal emphasis is placed on transport industries such as automotive, aerospace, and commercial vehicles.
In association with SAE India, a collegiate club for the automotive enthusiasts in St. Thomas College of Engineering and Technology has started in 2020
