INFRASTRUCTURE

The vision of our institution is to provide facilities for students to learn the skills needed to become an industry ready mechanical engineer. Towards realization of this vision, we have established manufacturing laboratories, with an array of conventional machines like lathe, planner, shaper, slotter, milling machine etc. as well as modern method machines like CNC lathes, CNC machining center, Electric Discharge machines, Wire Cut EDM and Injection moulding machines which are having a capacity to undertake the industrial work load from the leading industries like Lucas TVS etc., We also provide support services for manufacturing press tools, jigs, fixtures etc. A state of the art metrology laboratory is being put in place for training our students in modern methods of design, manufacture, Inspection and testing.

We have established a computer laboratory in the Mechanical Engineering department with a bank of 72 High configuration computers equipped with licensed software’s such as CRE-O, Auto Cad, MSC Nastran and ADAMs Multi-body dynamics simulation software. This facility enables our students to learn to design components, to carry out 3D modeling, and to undertake projects in the areas of product design, development, and manufacturing. We have left no stone unturned with the intention of ensuring our students who graduate are highly competent Mechanical Engineers contributing in Nation Building Activities.

SAE STUDENT CHAPTER

SAEINDIA is India's leading resource for mobility technology. Department of mechanical engineering of Meenakshi Sundararajan Engineering College, has formed the SAE India Collegiate Club during the year 2014. Students are enrolled to become membership and encourage to participate in all engineering event organized by SAE India. The student chapter organizes various events such as guest lectures, industrial visits, and competitions etc. for the SAE student members. The student members actively participate in all the events organized by SAE India like BAJA, Bi-Cycle Design Challenge and etc.

The SAE India magazines key in on hot topics about ground vehicle and aircraft developments, providing members with a valuable resource to help keep pace with rapidly changing technology in the mobility industry. One hard copy of each is also sent to one of the faculty Advisers in kept in department library for student’s reference. Students are taken to the leading automotive vehicle and component manufactories companies through their collegiate clubs based on request to these companies (however, it is no mandatory for these companies to accept the request all the time) these visits give first-hand information about the industrial environment and also attend technical seminars delivered by industry professionals. Student member participate in various technical event and attend technical seminar conducted by SAE INDIA.

Sponsored Project

Solar Energy Project:

• Establishing a 3X5kWp Solar PV Plant, Partly funded by MNRE, Government of India, through TANGEDCO, TN. MSEC has set up a 15 kWp solar PV system. It has three types of solar panels, namely, mono-crystalline (5kWp), Polycrystalline (5kWp) and thin film (5kWp). We have initiated a few projects using these. It is our ambition to generate an exhaustive data base of solar panels at varying operational conditions and supplying various types of loads at one site. The data would lead to the development of a useful process model of solar energy utilization. These engineering data would be invaluable input to design of large scale solar energy systems. System performance and reliability in specific application will be monitored.
