About

In 1974, the Fr. Agnels and its ancillaries were in news for making components of Aryabhata, the first satellite sent into space by India. The department has derived its legacy from the Production Engineering course which has been conducted for the past 38 years. With a legacy in Production Engineering, our Department has long been recognized for its strong postgraduate and doctoral programs in Mechanical Engineering. In alignment with evolving industry needs and market dynamics, the Production Engineering program was closed and new program in Mechanical Engineering was started in the academic year 2019–20.
What we offer?
  • B.Tech with Multidisciplinary Minor
  • B.Tech with Double Minor (Multidisciplinary & Specialization Minor)
  • B.Tech with Research and Multidisciplinary Minor
  • Ph.D (Doctorate) in Mechanical Engineering
This experience has established great connections and a large presence of our alumni from production engineering background in national and multinational companies like Tesla, Larsen & Toubro, Godrej & Boyce, Siemens, Mahindra & Mahindra, Mercedes Benz, General Mills, Tata Consultancy Services, Mazgaon Dock, and Accenture, etc. In the past students who pursued Post graduate degrees abroad were admitted to universities of repute.
The department has 8 laboratories, equipped with some state-of-the-art scientific instruments and systems. 3D printing machines, CNC machines, Automation with PLC, Industrial Robots, Computer workstations, CAD/CAM software for simulation and analysis, Conventional Machines, HVAC, Turbo Machinery, IC engines, and Metallurgical microscopes are a few to name among the hardware available for instructions.
Professional Societies and Student Chapters such as ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), IIIExCRCE (Indian Institution of Industrial Engineering are active within the department.
Students of the department are enthusiastic and active members of various technical competition teams, such as Abadha, CFR, Vaayushastra, and Mavericks, that compete in numerous technical competitions at the national and international level. Over the years, our students have performed exceptionally well in national and international competitions involving ATVs, Go-Karts, Robotics, Aero, Quad-copter, Hackathons, and Idea competitions.
The department is evolving to keep up with the ever-increasing challenges in technology development. The instructional methods are designed in response to the changing industry needs to make students employable. Students are encouraged to undertake internships and Project-based learning.

Innovative Teaching and Learning Practices

Innovative teaching and learning processes involve adopting new strategies, techniques, and technologies to enhance the learning experience, moving beyond traditional methods to foster engagement, critical thinking, and deeper understanding. Techniques like project-based learning, activity-based learning, flipped classrooms, enabled learning by NPTEL lectures and Coursera, and study through research articles are frequently used in the teaching-learning process. Such techniques are crucial in today's world of rapid change because they help students develop the skills, they need to succeed in both their personal and professional lives, adapt to new difficulties, and acquire lifelong learning
Some of the sample activities are mentioned below:
Youtube channel of Dr Vasim A. Shaikh
Youtube recorded lectures
By Dr Vasim A. Shaikh (Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical engineering)
Area covered: Manufacturing technology and material science.
YouTube recorded lectures are an innovation in teaching and learning by providing flexibility, accessibility, and visual learning opportunities. Students can learn at their own pace and review material as needed, while visual demonstrations can aid understanding of complex concepts. This aligns with the flipped classroom model, where students engage with lecture content outside of class time, allowing for more interactive and collaborative activities during class sessions. Dr. Vasim A. Shaikh has delivered 58 videos on manufacturing technology and material science and made them available on YouTube for the students of Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues College of Engineering as well as for all the students interested in gaining knowledge from elsewhere. This will help the students revisit lectures to clarify concepts and strengthen their understanding.
Pragmatic Learning – Learning by Doing
By Dr Bhusan Patil (Professor and Head, Department of Mechanical Engineering)
Area covered: Engineering Graphics
To enhance conceptual clarity and promote active learning, a hands-on approach was adopted in the classroom. Solid 3D models of machine components and other simple parts were shown to students to facilitate better visualization and understanding of engineering concepts. As part of a team activity, each group of students was assigned a simple component. Students were required to:
  • Measure the physical dimensions of the component,
  • Prepare a complete working drawing with front, top, side, and sectional views, as well as an isometric view,
  • Collaborate effectively within their team to complete the task, and
  • Present their work to the class, explaining their approach and technical drawing.

This activity aimed to foster teamwork, improve technical drawing skills, and bridge the gap between theory and real-world application through experiential learning.
