AISSMS College Of Engineering: Blending Innovation and Excellence to Build a Force of Industry Ready Professionals
Dr D S Bormane, Principal, AISSMS College Of Engineering
Mechanical engineering, a cornerstone of engineering, spans the entire product lifecycle including design, production, quality control, and testing, while optimizing the integration of human, material, and machine resources. Once reliant on manual methods, the field now thrives on cutting-edge technologies such as CNC, robotics, and 3D printing. Innovations like rapid prototyping and interdisciplinary applications, including AI, IoT, and sustainability, have revolutionized the field, enabling precision, efficiency, and future-focused solutions. Professional bodies like ASME and IMechE bridge academia and industry by enriching curricula, providing certifications, and promoting innovation. Competitions foster teamwork and technical skills, preparing students for career success. Mechanical engineering remains a dynamic and pivotal discipline, driving technological progress and addressing global challenges through innovation and adaptability.
AISSMS College of Engineering, established in 1992 is the right example of excellence in mechanical engineering education. Its Department of Mechanical Engineering offers undergraduate programs in Mechanical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering (Sandwich), a postgraduate program in Design Engineering, and a PhD research center. The department’s vision is to be a leading centre for innovation, research, and industry collaboration, fostering
a learning environment that empowers students with the skills and values necessary to excel globally. By aligning its academic framework with evolving industry trends, AISSMS College of Engineering ensures its graduates are prepared to address contemporary challenges and drive technological progress.
A Global Approach to Learning
Mechanical engineers must navigate ethical concerns, regulatory challenges, and the impacts of automation on employment while pursuing sustainable designs and renewable technologies. Employment opportunities are expanding in renewable energy, electric vehicles, aerospace, healthcare engineering, and smart manufacturing. Research focuses on advanced manufacturing, robotics, sustainable energy, biomechanics, and AI-driven solutions, aiming to solve industry and societal challenges.
A strong foundation in technical skills, including CAD, mathematical modeling, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics, is essential for engineers. Problem-solving, creativity, communication, and practical knowledge of manufacturing processes are equally crucial. Engineers must also adapt to emerging technologies and sustainability practices.
Educational frameworks are evolving to meet industry demands. Programs like the Mechanical Engineering Sandwich Pattern provides extensive in-plant training, bridging academic theory and industrial application. These initiatives produce industry-ready professionals adept at solving real-world problems, often leading to job opportunities. Nationwide implementation of such models can shape the future of engineering education.
