About Department
With reference letter of education department (શિ.વિ. ગાંધીનગર ના પત્ર ક્રમાંક પરચ/૧૦૨૦૨૨/ ૩૧૨/ સ, તા. ૨૦/૦૪/૨૦૨૨) and directorate of technical education (વડી કચેરી, ગાંધીનગર ના શેરા ક્રમાંક: ડીટીઈ/ એકેડમિક/ ક (૪) / કોવિડ-૧૯/૨૦૨૧/ ૩૨૯૧, તા. ૨૦/૦૪/૨૦૨૨) Mechanical engineering department was started in Government engineering college, Gandhinagar with intake capacity of 60 students from academic year 2022-23. Mechanical Engineering encompasses areas such as energy, fluid mechanics, dynamics, combustion, vibration, design, manufacturing processes, systems modeling and simulation, mechatronics, robotics, mechanics of material, rapid prototyping and composites. It deals with all aspects of the conversion of thermal energy into useful work and the machines that make this possible. Mechanical engineering is also referred to as the ‘mother’ of all engineering branches.

Manufacturing Process
The Manufacturing Process Laboratory is equipped with essential machine tools such as lathe machines, a vertical milling machine, a shaper machine, a drilling machine, and a surface grinder, providing students with hands-on experience in basic machining and shaping operations. These machines help students understand fundamental manufacturing processes like turning, facing, tapering, milling, shaping, drilling, reaming, and surface grinding.
Basic Mechanical Engineering
The Basic Mechanical Engineering Laboratory offers practical insights into core mechanical components and systems. It features models of boilers with associated mountings and accessories to demonstrate steam production and safety features. Students explore IC engine models, including two-stroke and four-stroke petrol and diesel engines, to understand their structure and operation. These setups help visualize mechanical processes and thermodynamic principles. The lab strengthens foundational knowledge in energy conversion and mechanical power systems used in industries.
Computer Aided Manufacturing / Automation in Manufacturing
The laboratory for Computer Aided Manufacturing and Automation in Manufacturing focuses on Advance Machinery. Students gain hands-on experience in programming and operating CNC machines. Study-based practicals are conducted on topics like PLCs, robotics, FMS, and CIM. The lab reinforces theoretical understanding of automation technologies. It equips students with practical skills relevant to modern manufacturing systems.
Kinematics and Dynamics
KTOM (Kinematics and Theory of Machines) and DOM (Dynamics of Machinery) labs provide hands-on learning of mechanisms, vibrations, gear trains, Breaks, Clutches and balancing. These labs enhance understanding of mechanical motion, machine components, and dynamic forces through experiments and working models.
Fluid Mechanics & Hydraulic Machines
Fluid Mechanics is the branch of physics and engineering that studies the behaviour of fluids (liquids and gases) at rest and in motion. The laboratory is equipped with a number of experimental setups to study the fundamental and applied aspects hydraulic machines. These setups help demonstrating a variety of classical experimental and diagnostic techniques with the support of associated working principles. All the water based equipment operate in a closed loop system thus to conserve the water. Setups are also available for calibration of flow measuring devices meant for channels and pipes.
Heat Transfer
Heat transfer laboratory is an undergraduate teaching laboratory housing a handful of experimental setups pertaining to fundamental heat transfer problems and their applications. A Heat Transfer Laboratory is a specialized lab used in engineering and science education or research to study the mechanisms of heat transfer — conduction, convection, and radiation — and how they apply in real-world systems.
Engineering Graphics
The Engineering Graphics Lab is designed to provide students with foundational skills in technical drawing and graphical communication, which are essential for all engineering disciplines. This lab focuses on developing the ability to visualize and represent objects in two and three dimensions using standard drawing conventions and practices. Students learn both manual drafting techniques and computer-aided design (CAD) tools to create accurate and detailed engineering drawings. The lab sessions involve hands-on exercises that cover topics such as geometric constructions, orthographic and isometric projections, sectional views, dimensioning, and assembly drawings.
