Message from the Head of the Department

Welcome to the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering & Technology, SLIET (Accredited by NAAC with ‘A’ Grade) (Deemed-to-be-University) Longowal. The Institute started the journey by offering Certificate and Diploma Programmes in 1991. Later the degree program was initiated in the year 1993.

Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest and most versatile of the engineering professions and is mainly concerned with the responsible development of products, processes, and power, at scales ranging from molecules to large and complex systems.

Mechanical engineers have an important role to play in practically every industry; be it automotive, aerospace, chemical, process, electronics or software. Be it sports, medical or any product development; mechanical engineers contribute to it substantially.

SLIET Mechanical Department is a strong community of highly qualified, passionate and experienced faculty, capable & skilled technical staff who are dedicated towards the development of our students (UG/PG/Research Scholars). The department has excellent infrastructure and laboratory facilities with state-of-the-art equipment’s, to carry out practicals & research in all areas related to Mechanical Engineering.

Our objective is not to merely produce professionals capable to serve their own needs but endeavour to serve the society with great concern for human values. The hands-on-practice at Mechanical Engineering departments is contributing strongly in automobile, thermal, design and manufacturing areas.

The department offers a number of programs at different levels ICD, Diploma, Degree and PG programs. Research areas covering such as Non-conventional Machining, Hybrid Machining, Composite materials, Functional nanomaterials, Automotive Engineering., Bio energy & Alternative fuels, Precision metrology, Optimization, Modelling and Simulation, CAD, FEA, Welding Technology etc. and have undertaken many sponsored projects. The department regularly organizes conferences/symposia and MoE/AICTE/ISTE sponsored training programs, and is committed to impart quality education, research, and training for attaining excellence.

The department has been accredited by National Board of Accreditation (NBA). Recently the SLIET has been ranked 76th (Engineering) and 85th (University) in NIRF 2024 ranking.

Thank you for visiting us.
Best wishes!
