CAREER OPPORTUNITIES FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERS

Mechanical Engineering, the evergreen engineering discipline deals with design and production of machines, tools and all other mechanical equipment to be used in industries. In a way, mechanical engineers are involved in creating the future. They are the driving force behind many of our technologies and industrial processes including innovative products like mobiles, PCs and DVDs etc. in our modern world. Mechanical Engineering finds applications in all fields of engineering and technology. They could work in many industries including private or public sector industries of various types, and their work varies by industry and function. With the rapid rate of expansion in the industrial sector, the employment potential for mechanical engineers is very high.

Fresh graduates find employment in the government sector like Defense Organizations, Service Sectors, Railways, energy Sector, Power Sectors, Agriculture Sector etc. Mechanical Engineers are also required in automobile, chemical, electronics, steel plants, oil exploration and oil refining, fertilizers and chemical etc.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT

All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) Delhi has sanctioned a project to establish Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC). The College has established EDC in the month of Feb., 2010, to act as a platform to promote entrepreneurship and self-employment amongst technical students as an attractive and viable career option. The Cell has organized a two days Entrepreneurship Awareness Programme (EAP-10) to make the students aware of various financial & technical aspects of entrepreneurship. Skill & Entrepreneur development Programmes will be conducted on regular basis.
