Message from the HOD
While enhancing the academic prospects of our students, we also wish to shape their personalities and render them highly skilled professionals with excellent leadership skills. Through our educational and extracurricular activities, we promote the inculcation of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. For the past many years, we have been contributing highly skilled technological manpower towards solving the various challenging problems faced by the mechanical industry. The alumni of this department are placed in various different reputed industries globally and are actively contributing their skills and knowledge towards the growth and success of these industries on a large scale. The students in this department have formed an association that
enables them to participate actively in cocurricular and extracurricular events and procure thorough interpersonal skills and advanced communication skills. This also helps them supplement their knowledge through their own means by conducting and attending workshops, seminars, etc. On an extracurricular front, the students are encouraged to participate in sporting and cultural events, technical festivals, and the department is eagerly involved in promoting them.
The Mechanical Department is involved in various social welfare activities, focusing on helping our students grow into great professionals and good people. We take pride in producing graduates who are not only technically proficient but also ethically responsible and ready to make a positive impact on society. Join us in exploring the exciting possibilities in the field of mechanical engineering and be a part of our vibrant academic community.

Basic Mechanical Workshop
The Basic Mechanical Workshop in the college is an integral component of our educational framework, catering to students pursuing various engineering disciplines. This workshop is designed to instill a strong foundation in mechanical engineering principles and hands-on skills, equipping our students with the essential knowledge to excel in their academic and future professional endeavours.
Fluid machinery and Hydraulic Machines Lab
The Fluid Mechanics Laboratory is in service of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, The purpose of the Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machinery laboratory is to reinforce and enhance understanding of the fundamentals of Fluid mechanics and Hydraulic machines. The experiments here are designed to demonstrate the applications of the basic fluid mechanics principles and to provide a more intuitive and physical understanding of the theory. The main objective is to introduce a variety of classical experimental and diagnostic techniques and the principles behind these techniques.
Machine Tools Lab
A heat engine is a device that converts thermal energy into mechanical work by exploiting the difference in temperature between a hot and a cold reservoir. A heat engine cycle consists of a series of processes that take the working substance (usually a gas) through various states of pressure, volume, and temperature. The net work done by the heat engine is equal to the area enclosed by the cycle on a pressure-volume (P-V) diagram. The efficiency of a heat engine is the ratio of the net work done to the heat absorbed from the hot reservoir.
To write up a lab report for this experiment, you should follow these steps:
- State your objective, hypothesis, and research question.
- Describe your experimental setup, procedure, and data collection method.
- Present your data in tables and graphs, showing your measurements of pressure, volume, temperature, mass, height, and time for each state of the cycle.
- Calculate your net work done, heat absorbed, heat released, and efficiency for each trial using your data and equations.
- Analyze your results and compare them with your hypothesis and theoretical predictions.
- Discuss possible sources of error and uncertainty in your experiment.
- Draw conclusions based on your findings and answer your research question.
- Provide references for any sources you used in your report.
Mechanical Measurements Lab
Mechanical measurements lab is a laboratory course that teaches students how to use various instruments and methods to measure physical quantities such as length, mass, angle, time, and quality. It also helps students to understand the concepts of measurement uncertainty, accuracy, precision, and error analysis. By doing experiments in this lab, students can learn how to apply the principles of metrology to engineering problems and design.
Professional Bodies - Energy Conservation Society
The Energy Conservation Society (ECS) is a premier non-governmental organization working in the energy sector of Kerala, primarily aiming to promote energy conservation, environmental protection, and sustainable development. Since 1992. The society has strong and dynamic leadership and active working chapters in all 14 districts of Kerala and in Delhi. ECS has core technical and administrative experts and instrumentation for energy studies, audits, etc. The society organizes various activities in all sectors, like energy conservation clubs in schools, colleges, and other educational institutions in Kerala, various awareness programs in domestic, industrial, agricultural, and commercial sectors, and so on. By joining the Energy Conservation Society (ECS), you are a part of a socially committed group with strong stands for the promotion of energy conservation, environmental conservation, and sustainable development. Your ideas for saving this planet and our civilization can be worked out and shared with the like-minded people of the ECS Group.
The mechanical Engineering Department at VISAT had the chance to collaborate with ECS to start a professional body and in the future, plan to do an MOU with ECS
