Welcome to the Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering program at DYPIU, where innovation meets excellence. DYPIU presents a full-time, four-year B.Tech program in Mechanical Engineering, offering students the flexibility to choose from two specialized track options. The curriculum was developed through collaborative efforts with academic professionals, representatives from industry and emerging start-up companies. Our program is meticulously crafted to provide a holistic and future-ready education in mechanical engineering. As a student in our program, you will embark on a transformative journey that blends theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience, preparing you to thrive in the dynamic world of engineering.
The emergence of Industry 4.0 is revolutionizing mechanical engineering. Technologies like machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI) and big data are reshaping how engineers design and build new machinery. The shift from physical prototypes to computer-aided modelling accelerates the design process and enhances precision. The transition from combustion engines to battery-based systems is a game-changer.
The global trends in mechanical engineering that will take a peek into the future prospects for this dynamic field are focused in the curriculum as follows
Generative Design enables the rapid creation of multiple high performing design alternatives from a single idea in fraction of the time and cost.
Digital twin has emerged as one of the most active components in smart manufacturing. By creating a digital twin, manufacturers can simulate different scenarios and test various configurations without disrupting the actual production process.
Virtual Reality enables mechanical engineers to use virtual environments, allowing for realistic simulations and evaluations of product designs before physical prototypes are built. The integration of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality is revolutionizing mechanical design and maintenance practices, empowering engineers with unprecedented capabilities to visualize, simulate, and optimize complex mechanical systems.
Most manufacturers today agree that digital is not limited to one or two functions but can apply to the entire business lifecycle: from concept and design, engineering, sourcing and procurement to supply chain logistics, warehousing, customer experience, strategic functions and governance. Digitalizing operations can increase efficiency, quality, safety and transparency, also reduce costs, timelines and errors.
Predictive maintenance lets you estimate time-to-failure of a machine. Knowing the predicted failure time helps you find the optimum time to schedule maintenance for your equipment.
Robotics and Autonomous Systems encompass diverse scientific and technical disciplines that focus on developing complex cognitive systems. These systems can operate independently, making decisions and performing tasks without direct human control.
Additive manufacturing uses data computer-aided-design (CAD) software or 3D object scanners to direct hardware to deposit material, layer upon layer, in precise geometric shapes. The terms "3D printing" and "rapid prototyping" are a subset of additive manufacturing.
1. Smart Manufacturing
2. Energy Engineering
After the 4th semester, the student has to choose the specialization track in which they have to do 6 courses in a sequence.
Honors Subject is not a compulsory subject. Students can choose based upon their interest. Additional 20 credits must be earned by the learners to secure Honours/Minors. These 20 credits are distributed in 5th,6th,7th and 8th semesters as follows,
We will aid the student in choosing the specialization track and Honors /Minor subjects by providing them with all the information needed. Below are the 2 specialization tracks.

B. Tech in Mechanical Engineering is an undergraduate program that focuses on the principles of engineering, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It involves the study of various aspects like thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, manufacturing processes, and more.
In terms of curriculum and core subjects, there's usually no significant difference between a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) and a Bachelor of Engineering (BE) in Mechanical Engineering. Both degrees generally cover similar foundational concepts, including mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, manufacturing processes, and design principles related to mechanical systems.
However, the difference often lies in the emphasis of the programs:
Completing a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering opens up a diverse range of career opportunities across various industries in following domain but not limited to.
The versatility of a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering allows graduates to adapt to evolving industries and technologies.
There are three prime focus areas of internships:
During the semester breaks, students can perform internships in or outside of the University. However, during the semesters, students are advised to do the internships in the University to ease their attendance in the class and labworks.
A successful career in Mechanical Engineering requires a combination of technical, analytical, and interpersonal skills. Some of the skills are listed below
A multi-track specialization system is a student centric approach introduced by DYPIU in 2019 (first for its B.Tech. Computer Science Engineering course). It allows students to choose a specialization of their interest at the end of the 4th semester. So, the students do not need to make the decision at the time of admission. This system makes sure that they exercise this option after getting a better understanding of various subjects. In each track, students get to learn 6-7 courses to get in-depth knowledge of their chosen specialization.
B.Tech. Mechanical at DYPIU is a four-year full-time course with multi-track specialization option in two emerging technologies. The track options are:
No, it is not the same. In the multi-track specialization system, all the track electives are specific to the track. For example, a student who chooses the Energy Engineering track can choose the electives offered only for that track. This system helps the students to specialize in a particular discipline and prevent non-specific choices.
All the students graduating under the program will be eligible to receive B.Tech. Mechanical Engineering degree. Their track names will be specified in their degree as well. For example, if a student specializes in Energy Engineering, s/he will get the following degree: B.Tech Mechanical Engineering (Energy Engineering).
The total intake for B.Tech Mechanical Engineering course is 120.
Participating in various extracurricular activities during your Mechanical Engineering program can enhance your overall learning experience, develop practical skills, and contribute to personal and professional growth. some extracurricular activities you might consider as follows:
Students must choose their tracks by the end of the 4th semester. The track courses begin from 5th semester onwards.
Student cannot select more than one specialization. The choice of specialization has to be made based on interests of the student developed during the first four semesters of course. In case, any student finds it difficult to choose a track, s/he can consult with his/her faculty mentors.
In case of a conflict, the track will be decided based on the CGPA of the student in the first four semesters of the course.
Under special circumstances, one can change the track before the end of the second week of the fifth semester provided the chosen new track has not reached its maximum strength. However, the University reserves its right to make the final decision for such cases.
A track of specialization would be offered only if a minimum number of students opt for it.
Placements are organized for every program being offered at DYPIU. All students qualify for cross-disciplinary placements as per the norms of the Placement Committee.
