Presently, more than 17 scholars are pursuing their research work for Ph.D/ M.Sc. (Engg.). The department has received research grants from various funding organisation like AICTE, VTU, TEQIP, KSCST, etc. Good numbers of publication are brought out by faculty and students in reputed national/ international journals. Also, their research papers are presented in national and International conferences held at various institutions across the country and abroad.

The department has also developed worthy interactions with industries like KSRTC, BENZ, BOSCH, VOLVO, BEML, TVS, MAHINDRA&MAHINDRA, L&T, JK Tyres and many other authorised Automotive service centres. The students are being sent to undergo internship/training under these organisations.

The companies like Maruti Suzuki, Volvo, Mercedes Benz, Toyota Kirloskar, BOSCH, BEL, TVS, Ford, Hyudai, Mahindra & Mahindra and Honda visited our campus in the last one decade. Graduates from the department are placed in the on/off campus placement drives to various automotive and other reputed industries. Many of them are in key position in various organisations. Apart from this, graduates from the department are getting admitted for post- graduation to numerous reputed abroad universities across the world.

VISION OF THE DEPARTMENT:

To create globally competent automobile engineers capable of working in an interdisciplinary environment, contributing to society through innovation, entrepreneurship and leadership

MISSION OF THE DEPARTMENT:

• Produce Automobile Engineers with a strong theoretical and practical knowledge with global outlook for a sustainable future

• Create facilities for continued education, training, research and consultancy and enhance industry interactions.

• Enable to be productive members of interdisciplinary teams, capable of adapting to changing environments of engineering, technology and society

• Develop entrepreneurial skills and leadership qualities with high moral and ethical values

1. Engineering Knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.

2. Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate, research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.

3. Design/development of Solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.

4. Conduct Investigations of Complex Problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.

5. Modern Tool Usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.

6. The Engineer and Society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.

7. Environment and Sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of and the need for sustainable development.

8. Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.

9. Individual and Team Work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.

10. Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations and give and receive clear instructions.

11. Project Management and Finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.

12. Life-long Learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.

1. Operate and find errors in automobile sub-systems/systems for maintenance.

2. Use IT and computer knowledge for improving the performance of automobile subsystems/systems, improving fuel economy/ reduce engine emissions, use of alternative fuels and developing hybrid / electric vehicle.values
