SMBS
SCHOOL OF MECHANICAL AND BUILDING SCIENCES
The school of Mechanical and Building Sciences
(SMBS), one of the oldest of the 6 constituent Schools of VIT,
comprises of Mechanical, Civil and chemical
Engineering Branches. The School with more than 120 well qualified faculty
with Ph.Ds from reputed institutes like IITs and IISc is headed by Prof. A. S. Santhi - more than a one third of the faculty members are Ph. D
Holders. Prof. A. S. Santhi has a rich teaching and research experience.
All Civil Engineering programmes are accredited by the Energy Institute (U.K.).
The
B.Tech Mechanical & Energy Engineering Programme is a collaborative
programme with the University of Applied Sciences, Aachen, Germany,
Technical University, Eindhoven, The Netherlands and IIT, Madras.
M.Tech. Automotive Engineering Programme is in collaboration with
ARAI, Pune.
The placement record of SMBS is highly impressive. The Alumni occupy esteemed positions in various reputed organizations both in the country and abroad. Courses offered at the school cover the needs of a wide range of industries like Aerospace, Manufacturing, Defence, Space, Construction, Nano-engineering, Energy, Environment, Transportation and Nuclear Energy.
To give more emphasis on research, the school has been divided into 8 divisions namely, Manufacturing, Energy, Thermal & Automotive, Design, Mechatronics, Water Resources & Transportation, Structural & Geo-Technical and Environmental Engineering.
The
School has established advanced R & D facilities to propagate
emerging technologies and develop cutting edge technologies in the
field of Computer Aided Design, Computer Aided Manufacturing,
Energy, Automobile Engineering, Value Engineering, Cryogenics,
Collaborative Product Design, Jigless manufacturing, EDM Drilling,
Rapid Prototyping, High Performance Concrete, Remote Sensing,
Development of Low Cost Building Materials like Fly Ash, Foundry
Waste Sand and Removal of Chromium from Waste Water by using
Bio-polymers etc. The School actively assists local industries in
die and mould making, complex part manufacturing, rapid prototyping
and developing mechanisms and reverse engineering applications.
Some of the major initiatives in the direction of strengthening of research in the school include signing of MoUs with Central Manufacturing Technology Institute (CMTI), Bangalore; Defence Research & Development Laboratory, Hyderabad; and Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras; and Anna University, Chennai.
The School also interacts with companies like Brakes India, Lucas-TVS, Sundaram-Clayton, Turbo-Energy, BHEL, Mitsubishi, NTTF-Katpadi, Makino-Bangalore and Delphi Automotive - Bangalore in their R & D activities on a consistent basis.
The School executes a number of research projects funded by Aeronautical Research & Development Board, Defence Research Development Organisation, Indian Space Research Organisation, Department of Science & Technology, University Grants Commission and All India Council of Technical Education.
