About Us

Mechanical Engineering Department of Assam Engineering College, Jalukbari is the pioneer in the state of Assam, offering techno-managerial education under the aegis of State Technical Education, Government of Assam. It was the result of a far-sighted realization of the past leaders to develop technical manpower in the post independent Assam and to raise the standard of living of the people of the whole North Eastern region by way of industrialization. As such the Mechanical Engineering Department came into existence in 1957, after the emergence of Assam Engineering College at Jalukbari in an atmosphere of semi-urban environment. Since then, time has remained as the silent spectator for the relentless service provided by it to the country and other parts of the globe, despite many ups and downs in its stride. The department feels proud that many of its alumni are bringing laurels to the state of Assam, not only in engineering but also in other fields as well.

The following academic courses are offered by the department:

• ➢ Undergraduate courses:
  
  • o B. Tech (Mechanical Engineering)
  • o B. Tech (Industrial & Production Engineering)
• ➢ Postgraduate courses:
  
  • o M. Tech (Mechanical Engineering)
  • o Ph. D

The UG programme of Mechanical Engineering Department started way back in 1957 and current intake is 60. Assam Engineering College (AEC) was affiliated to Gauhati University (GU) prior to 2017. With the inception of the Assam Science and Technology University (ASTU), AEC got affiliated to ASTU since 2017. Therefore, the batches enrolled up to 2016 were registered with Gauhati University (GU) and new batches enrolled from 2017 were registered with ASTU. However, for smooth transition of affiliation, 2017 enrolled batch, though registered with ASTU, followed GU syllabus and regulations. From 2018 enrolled batch onwards, ASTU syllabus and regulations are being followed.

The department has continuously strived to provide students with access to well-equipped laboratories and computing facilities. The strength of the department lies in its people. The department continuously stives to gather input and feedback from all its stakeholders for continuous improvement.
