Dear candidate,

Mechanical Engineering course structure is designed in such a way, that one would learn theoretical and practical knowledge of different fields that are covered in the study of mechanical engineering. The main subjects areas are- Strength of Materials, Materials Science, Thermodynamics, IC Engines, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, Automobile Engineering etc.

In most of the engineering institutes, first year of every branch has common subjects. Second year onwards the specialization starts. Thus, the first year courses are similar for everyone.

Mechanical engineering basically involves study of core concepts of mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, structural analysis, and electricity. Apart from that there are some tools that are studied to enhance the skills of mechanical engineering.

Core Subjects of Mechanical Engineering

Following are some core subjects of mechanical engineering which are taught in most of the engineering colleges in India. However this is not the complete list of subjects, it may differ from institute to institute-

• Strength of Materials
• Thermodynamics
• Manufacturing Process
• Fluid Mechanics
• Machine Design
• Heat and Mass Transfer
• Theory of Machines
• IC Engines
• CAD/CAM
• Automobile Engineering
• Power Plant Engineering
• Refrigeration and Air Conditioning

Lab Subjects

Lab practicals and workshops are the most essential part of mechanical engineering course. Following are the subjects which are studied under laboratories of mechanical engineering-

• Materials science and testing Lab
• Machine Design
• Thermodynamics Lab
• Heat and Mass Transfer Lab
• IC Engine Lab
• Computer Aided Design
• Workshops

Elective subjects

Apart from core subjects, there are some elective subjects in each semester. Some common elective subjects are-

• Materials Science
• Discrete Mathematics
• Fluid Machinery
• Non-Conventional Energy Resources
• Advanced Welding Technology
• Mechanical System Design

Above subjects and electives are taken from some universities' curriculum. This is not the complete syllabus of Mechanical engineering. This will give you a general idea about mechanical engineering course syllabus.

Hope I answer your question and it's helpful.

All the best!

Hello,

Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi has been issued the syllabus of GATE 2020 for Mechanical Engineering which will be used for exam preparation. Students who would be appearing in the examination must follow the GATE syllabus 2020 for Mechanical Engineering to get good marks. TheGATE syllabusfor Mechanical Engineering consists of section-wise topics from which questions will be asked. There are totally four sections present in the Mechanical Engineering paper includes Applied Mechanics & Design, Engineering Mathematics, Fluid Mechanics & Thermal Sciences and Materials, Manufacturing & Industrial Engineering. TheGATEtest takers are advised to check the prescribed exam pattern for along with GATE 2020 syllabus for Mechanical Engineering for effective exam preparation.
