About the Department
The Mechanical Engineering department offers M.Tech CAD/CAM or master of technology in CAD/CAM which is of two-
years postgraduate programme. CAD here stands for Computer Aided Design and CAM stands for Computer Aided
Manufacturing. Thus, the term CAD/CAM implies that an engineer can use the system both for designing a product and for
controlling manufacturing processes. Master of technology in Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing Course
provides knowledge and skill development in applying computer and scientific principles related to solving engineering and
manufacturing problems. M.Tech CAD/CAM programme covers the major areas of Design, Thermodynamics,
Manufacturing/Production and Materials & Metallurgy. In addition, knowledge on software tools such as AUTO CAD, Solidworks, Inventor, ANSYS, CATIA and CAD/CAM
etc. used in design and analysis of practical problems is also provided.

Career Opportunities
The course is suitable to produce a new generation of product design engineers who combine engineering expertise with the
confidence to work with, develop and manage knowledge-based computer-aided engineering system to support engineering
design. They will find employment in manufacturing plants (in engineering design, drafting, production quality control and
programming/operating numerical control machines), consulting engineering offices (in engineering design and drafting) or
research and design offices (in product design, a prototype development, solid modeling and advanced stress analysis). They
develop drafting skills in areas such as electronics, structures and fluid power. The course is also beneficial for further studies
such as PhD. They can also work in colleges and universities, research organizations (Public/Private Sectors), CPWD,
Posts and Telegraphs, Steel Plants, PWD, Space Research Institute. They can get jobs as Architectural Designer,
Conservationist, Surveyor, Manufacturing Designer, Aerospace Designer, Lecturer/Professors and Mechanical Designers.
