Diploma in Mechanical Engineering
Training Tomorrow's Mechanical Engineers for India's Manufacturing Boom
Program overview
Mechanical Engineering has played an important role in manufacturing, power generation and supply, transportation, and industrial automation. The Diploma in Mechanical Engineering at Vikrant University is a full-time technical diploma course covering three years. It prepares students to work as skilled technicians/junior engineers who will be able to effectively operate, maintain and supervise mechanical equipment in industrial settings.
This program offers greater emphasis on practical experience than on theoretical design. Students learn in a variety of disciplines: production technology, automotive engineering, thermal systems, machine shop practices, and industrial safety. Graduates from this course will be able to complete all necessary aspects of machine maintenance, and production according to industry standards.
With the rapid expansion of industrial corridors and manufacturing centres throughout Madhya Pradesh and India, the need for mechanical professionals with diploma qualifications continues to grow. This program provides students with a strong beginning for further education and a pathway into employment.
Why Choose This Program
At Vikrant University, Diploma in Mechanical Engineering is built upon an extremely strong emphasis on "learning by doing" to help students gain real experience in work as well as class experience. The program curriculum is developed using the same criteria used to develop industry standard programs so that students learn to apply their understanding of mechanical systems not only in writing but also by actually working on the systems.
The students use a large amount of time in workshops and labs working directly with machines operators/tools/machined parts and produce products as they would in the actual work world. In addition to learning the traditional mechanical skills students will also learn CNC machining, AutoCAD drawing, and the fundamentals of Industry 4.0. and 5.0. This combination of practical experiences and theoretical backgrounds prepares graduates to be technically qualified, earn a degree from an employer that hires from within the company and in turn apply their skills for a job.
