Dr. Arpita Chatterjee

HOD, Mechanical Engineering

The Department of Mechanical Engineering was established in the year 2009 at the very inception of Dr. Sudhir Chandra Sur Institute of Technology and Sports Complex. The department started with a 4 years B.Tech course (Capacity 30 Students) and later on, Master of Technology (Capacity 18 Students) came into being in 2012.

Mechanical engineering is one of the most sought-after core streams of engineering disciplines with multidisciplinary fields of work. The department is flourished with excellent laboratory facilities with a wide range of learning facilities, high quality teaching and laboratory staff. The Department stress upon all round development of the students by personal interaction between the staff and students beyond stipulated working hours and available for guidance even after they have passed out of the college. The Department aims at producing employable engineers who are capable of contributing meaningfully to the society.
