M.Tech Mechanical Engineering

Master of Technology in Mechanical Engineering

M.Tech Mechanical Engineering or Master of Technology in Mechanical Engineering is a postgraduate Mechanical Engineering course. It is a two years specialization program that deals with the study of mechanics, statics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, and structural analysis used in the designing, development, construction, production, installation, operation, and maintenance of tools, machines, and various other mechanical equipment such as automobiles, trucks, airplanes, trains, space vehicles, lathes, milling machines, grinders, large steam and gas turbines, components of thermal power stations, internal combustion engines, jet engines, air conditioning and heating machines, refrigerators, etc.

In short, the Mechanical Engineering degree course mainly focuses on the study of the application of the principles of mechanics and energy to the design of machines and devices. The Master of Technology in Mechanical Engineering programs in India are usually structured as an Engineering Research degree and are offered on a large scale by most of engineering institutes.

The Master of Technology in Mechanical Engineering course is broad in nature covering all major areas of design, thermal, and production engineering. Many elective subjects are made available to students in order to enable them to specialize in any of the three major fields viz. design, thermal, and production engineering.

M.Tech Mechanical Engineering Eligibility

• Aspiring students should have passed a BE / B.Tech degree in Mechanical Engineering or an equivalent examination.
• Alternatively, a candidate who has passed the Associate Membership of the Institute of Engineers (AMIE) examination with an appropriate specialization in Mechanical Engineering is also considered eligible for admission to M.Tech (Mechanical Engineering) degree course.
• Generally, admission is done through the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) Score Merit List.

M.Tech Mechanical Engineering Course Suitability

• They should be able to plan and prioritize, capable of careful attention to detail, exercise good judgment, and accept responsibility.
• One should have the ability to solve problems using both logic and creative/innovative approaches.
• They should be numerate and highly computer literate, with excellent analytical skills.
• Those who have planned on becoming teachers and lecturers after having passed the Master's degree program can go for it.

How is the M.Tech Mechanical Engineering Course Beneficial?

• The M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering degree can be applied in all other fields of engineering and so the demand for a Mechanical Engineer is high compared to other engineers of different fields, so it serves as an all-purpose engineering degree.
• It is to be noted that out of the millions of engineers employed by companies, 30% of them are mechanical engineers.
• The Master of Technology in Mechanical Engineering degree holders can always look for a career in related occupations such as aerospace engineering, aeronautical engineering, automotive engineers, architects, nuclear engineers, tool design, and many others occupations.
• The new developing fields of biotechnology, materials science, and nanotechnology will open various new job areas for Mechanical Engineers.
• In a few Western countries, mechanical engineering is the second-highest-paid profession after medicine.
