About the Course
With a dynamic job scenario, both locally and globally, the scope of Mechanical Engineering is rapidly expanding. Mechanical Engineering graduates are finding increasing career opportunities that require expertise in interdisciplinary domains such as Machine Learning, Systems Engineering, and Robotics. At BNMIT, we have implemented a strong pedagogy with a contemporary curriculum designed to encourage interdisciplinary learning. Our curriculum, designed in consultation with academic and industry experts, has a broader horizon compared to those offered by other autonomous institutes and universities.
It incorporates courses from diverse domains, including Computer Science, Electronics, and Management Studies. Some highlights of our curriculum include Python programming, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Robotics. We also emphasize ideation and product creation through courses on Design Thinking and Product Development. To meet industry expectations, internships are made mandatory to ensure that students are well-prepared for immediate employment.
Additionally, the department organizes regular industrial visits, Skill Development Programs, Student Workshops, and Invited Lectures to empower students with the necessary skill sets for a successful career in Mechanical Engineering. The Department has been recognized as a Research Centre under VTU, Belgavi.
