*NBA ACCREDITED PROGRAMME
Department of
Mechanical Engineering
Established in the year 2012 with an initial intake of 60 students in 2011, the Department of Mechanical Engineering has progressed by leaps and bounds in all respects in a short span of time. Presently the department admits 120 students per year to its undergraduate study programme. The department has attracted highly qualified and experienced personnel from various streams of Mechanical Engineering as its faculty.
The department has successfully established various research groups working independently or in collaboration with various industries (NPOL, Tata Ceramics etc.) towards meaningful goal driven research activities. Such ventures ensure industry-institute interaction that puts theory into practice thereby improving the overall quality of academia. Supported by 9 state-of the-art laboratories, the department has categorized its various research activities under Energy Research Group (Solar & Thermal Systems); Computer Aided Engineering Group (FEA & CFD); Manufacturing Engineering Group (Production, Materials, Metallurgy & CAD/CAM).
The department is a front-runner in organizing result oriented workshops for its student community. 'AcceleroBotix' by Technophilia Systems and Robotics & Computer Applications Institute of USA, 'Sphere Drone: Design Fabrication & Flying' by AerotriX Bangalore, 'National Weld Meet: Kochi 2015’ by The Indian Institute of Welding (IIW- Branch Cochin), ‘Hexapod Robotics’ work shop by Dalvik Apps and ‘Autodesk Fusion 360’ training are a few significant examples. MOUs has been signed with IIW and HMT to share facilities and expertise in order to improve welding technology through advanced research and education. The department has signed MoU with Yextreme Technologies Pvt Ltd for facilitating the advanced machining Laboratory for the projects from ISRO etc in exchange of industrial technical expertise for student skill development .
Keeping in view the challenging job-market awaiting its students, the department ensures that they are equipped with industry relevant skills during their curriculum. Training programmes on CATIA, ANSYS, CFD, AutoCAD, and CNC part programming are conducted on a regular basis which benefits both students and the faculty. Department has started a student chapter for ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) which is first of its kind in Kerala.
International learning and knowledge propels students towards acceptance and understanding of an array of different cultural, community perspectives. Department has initiated various student exchange programs with foreign universities like Sojo University, Japan, Hochschule Aalen University, Germany.

2018-22 Batch - Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden
My name is Sam Mathew Tharachan, and I'm a second-year student currently pursuing my MSc in Sustainable Energy Engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden (hence the Swedish, wink wink). I also work part-time at KTH as a research assistant. After graduation, I hope to find a job as an energy engineer in Sweden or perhaps pursue a PhD if the opportunity arises.
University life here is quite challenging but also rewarding. The competition is high, but my four years of Mechanical Engineering at RSET have been instrumental in helping me stay afloat in these testing waters. The teachers who helped me grow as an engineer and responsible adult, and the challenges that forged me into a wiser human, were crucial to my development. Those four years have given me memories and experiences that I carried with me to Stockholm. I walk proudly here as a humble alumnus of RSET, my first home.
Enjoy your years at RSET and cherish them, because once the last bell rings, you shouldn't regret anything.
