Department of Mechanical Engineering
Department of Mechanical Engineering, the largest
department in the Institute, offers regular
undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral degree
programmes. It also offers part time doctoral degree
programmes, mainly meant for those employed in
industries and academic institutions. It offers a
number of continuing education programmes too, for
industry personnel. Summer/Winter schools
sponsored by the AICTE/ISTE have also been
organized by the Department. The faculty provide
guest lectures also for many of the neighboring
institutions. Besides teaching, the members of the
faculty are involved in consultancy work (Design
Development, Energy Auditing, Industrial Sickness
Evaluation, Testing etc.), sponsored research work
(sponsored by DST, AICTE, ARDB etc.), and product
development
About the Institute

Introduction
In its present day form of industrial usage, pneumatics is a
relatively young progeny of technology, gaining traction in
the late 18th century although it had been used in simpler
devices for many centuries before that. Modern pneumatics
with its versatile scope and possibilities did not really begin
to supplement the established techniques and forms of
power and energy in industrial processes until the 1950s.
It has since evolved into an extensive and successful branch
of engineering. A diversified line of pneumatic equipment
of a mature engineering standard is already on the market
and can be expected to grow further in size and efficiency
in the future. Repeated releases of equipment with newer
features and newer application areas demonstrate the
continuous growth in the field of pneumatics
Objectives of the Course
The main objective of the program is to expose participants
to pneumatic components, circuit diagrams, PLC programs
and systems. Educating people to properly use pneumatic
power is crucial for the economical use of energy. The
three aspects having a vital bearing on the efficient use of
pneumatic power are : proper designing of pneumatic
circuits, selection of appropriate components for
pneumatic system, and good maintenance of a system. This
workshop aims to cover the operation and maintenance
procedures of pneumatics devices thoroughly. It has been
designed to make new user feel at ease while trying to
understand the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of the operating principles
of pneumatic and electro pneumatic equipment and their
control aspects including programmable logic controllers
based controls.
Course Contents
The focus of this short term programme will be to provide
information to the participants on aspects of
pneumatics engineering so that they can not only be able to
develop the same at their institute but also start participating
at solving Industrial problems. Following aspects will be
dealt with in the course:
 Preparation, production, treatment and distribution of
compressed air.
 Pneumatics valves and actuators
 Design of single cylinder circuits using pure
pneumatics
 Design of multi cylinder circuits using pure
pneumatics


Maintenance of Pneumatics systems.
Resource Persons
The lectures for the programme will be handled by faculty
from NITs and other renowned technical institutions in
the country.
Target Audience
The course is open to teachers from AICTE approved
Engineering Colleges / Polytechnics, Professionals,
Engineers from Govt. and private organisations, with a
Degree in the respective field.
