Automobile
Sector is the field which has been witnessing unprecedented developments in the
recent years. Its growth, being driven by the technological developments in
multidisciplinary domains, the need for engineers with relevant and competent
knowledge and skills will be strongly felt.
In
order to cater such a need, the Department of Automobile Engineering was
started in the college in the year 2007, with the strong backing of the Sakthi
Group of Companies, which also has a strong presence in the automobile sector.
Since
automobile engineering is the discipline that requires theoretical inputs to go
hand in hand with practical exposure, the department strives to provide
intensive in-plant training of considerable duration to all the students in
major automobile companies. It is already in the process of networking with
industries for the purpose. To start with, ABT Technical Institute, Sakthi Auto
Components Limited and ABT industries have agreed in principle to offer high
quality training.
With
such an academic exposure, it is obvious that the graduating students will have
greater opportunities of getting placed in leading companies globally.
The
department further encourages professional activity of the staff and students through
the SAE INDIA Collegiate Club and the Technical Association wing of the
department christened as AVES (Association of Vehicle Engineers). These forums
provide the platform for the students for enriching the knowledge in the field
and also to have an exposure to the latest developments.
Presently, the department is offering a
four year degree programme leading to
Bachelor of Engineering in Automobile Engineering with an annual intake of 60
students.
