Mechanical Engineering

About us

Overview

The department’s teaching and non-teaching faculty are highly trained, knowledgeable, and committed, with some having over 30 years of experience. There are six doctorates available to help students with project modeling and management. Students benefit from labs with cutting-edge resources and equipment. We have professionally trained faculty to teach students on “Design Thinking” which has a bright future in mechanical engineering. LICET is one of the few colleges which has an Automation lab to train the students in the most advanced machining techniques. We provide holistic formation along with engineering education to students through Jesuits pedagogy. A few of our students are doing their Master’s program in France (ICAM University), the USA (Fairfield University), and also in Germany. Apart from curricular activities, students are encouraged to participate in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities too. With the global perspective, students learn French and German languages in addition to soft skill training, interview techniques, leadership grooming, skipper programmes, motor mechanic and robotic trainings. Our students consistently perform well and secure significant ranks in national level events, namely, BAJA, GO KART conducted for engineering students. In short, it is a soul satisfying experience to be a student of the Mechanical Department of LICET.

Our Vision

Faculty

“Talented Faculty with rich experience”
Mr Regis X
Head of the department

Having delved deeper into Numerical Analysis and Data Driven Science, Mr Regis X has developed a strong temperamental proclivity towards  Sparse Regression of Galerkin’s Weighted Residual Method. He believes a professor doesn’t have to conform to some prepackaged  version of teaching but rather, he/she should aspire to get across the concepts in an innovative manner and with exceptional grace. Driven by Ignatian Pedagogy, he wants students to have galactic explosiveness not only intellectually but also in their heart.

DR. ANTONY MICHAEL RAJ L
PROFESSOR

Dr Antony Michael Raj has completed his PhD in the year 2007 in CEG, Anna University. He has over 27 years of academic experience. He has a demonstrated history of working in Education Management with extensive contributions in Learning and Development, Strategizing, Administration of Programs and Research. To his credit, he also has 3 years of Industry experience.

DR E MADHAVAN PILLAI
PROFESSOR

Dr Madhavan Pillai E has done his M.E (Industrial Engineering) at Thiagarajar College of Engineering and Ph.D (Mechanical Engineering) at Anna University. He has 22 years of teaching experience. His research interest includes TQM, TPM and Performance Measurement. He has published one article in an International journal and has presented five papers in International/National conferences.
