MechnoVIT 'Mechanical Engineering is Evergreen', still holds true. It is at

the heart of every development that takes place around us.
Today, with the rise and domination of Silicon Valley,
without designing and manufacturing, these products would
cease to exist. The basic knowledge of mechanical
engineering is applicable to almost all industries. From
micro-chips to planes, all industries need a sound
mechanical base to build upon.
My inspiration comes from Lila Poonawalla. She triumphed
against all odds to be one of the first female Indian
mechanical engineers. She toiled her way right up to the top,
MechnoVIT mechanical engineering is a gender diverse field. Women are KTH Royal Institute of Technology

The support I got from the professors at VIT to explore various research areas
ranging from design, prototyping, and finite element analysis to Robotics
definitely opened a vast arena of opportunities for me. The interdisciplinary
skill sets acquired from my research at VIT helped me tremendously in the
MechnoVIT toward multiple research publications and two patent applications which set a
field of Mechanical design and robotics. The professors at VIT mentored me

strong foundation for my graduate studies at UCLA. For my juniors, I would
like to suggest that do not be afraid to take seemingly "difficult" electives as
these are the courses that will help them acquire the skill sets for the future
and separate them from the norm.

MechnoVIT TECH CHAT WITH INDUSTRY EXPERT

During the college studies, I would say that practical knowledge
is important than just theoretical knowledge. So students should
focus on gaining more practical knowledge for industry point of
view. We most likely use something that has been mechanically
engineered every day and core mechanical engineering opens
the platform to study these things from scratch.

Starting from designing to end use it covers everything. Without

conditioners, generators, engines etc. The industry without core
branch is nothing. This branch is also very versatile and gives
various career opportunities. For me the biggest supporter is
myself. Of course along with family, teachers and officemates.
