Library Details of Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineers require a solid understanding of key concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, energy and manufacturing. They use these principles in the design and analysis of automobiles, aircraft, heating and cooling systems, buildings and bridges, industrial equipment & machinery, and many more. The Library exhibit inside the Mechanical Engineering Department has been played a vital role to assist student for fulfilling their demand of knowledge. It consist all books which are adverted as per Anna University syllabus.

Books

To assists the improvement of student knowledge Department Library consist over 300 books which covers the syllabus of Anna University, Chennai. Also the Library having important books for reference.

Journals

Department Library plays a vital role to provide vast knowledge to students to upgrade their technical points via National and International Journals. It has around 100 national and international journals to facilitate to enrich students analytical skills for their final year projects and mini projects.

CD's VCD's and Multimedia

Students are encouraged by e-teaching through Aakash Tablets. The idea is motivated by IIT-Bombay via Aakash Project. Most of the students has been worked out their subject related works via Aakash tablets and over 50 types of CD's VCD's. Students were provided over 100 tablets for their academic purpose in Mechanical Engineering Department.

Project thesis & University Question papers

Apart from that, Department library having over 500 no.of project thesisfor stimulating students technical knowledge to help innovative project related thoughts. Also it having previous university question papers for 5 years to help students to score good marks in University Examination.
