I warmly welcome you to the fourth edition of

the annual newsletter - LUMINO - of the

Department of Mechanical Engineering. Here you

will find the latest news about the department,

its exceptional achievements and updates of

students and faculty. The UG programme in the

department of Mechanical Engineering is certified

with NBA Accreditation status for two year term

with effect from 01 July 2016. This was made

possible because of the wholehearted and

sincere effort taken by the department faculty

members. My hearty congratulations and

gratitude to all the faculty members for this

coveted achievement. APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University

(APJAKTU) instituted in the year 2015 is bringing radical change in

the engineering and technology education in the state with the major

objective of producing employable engineering and technology

graduates from engineering colleges. In line with the guidelines and

policies laid down by the university the department is practicing

concept-oriented outcome based teaching-learning system. It is

another feather in the crown of the department that the department

occupies 5th position among the private self-financing engineering

institutions in the state in terms of the first semester APJAKTU

results. Our strategy for ensuring that our department remains well-

positioned to maintain its phenomenal growth includes attracting

highly competent scholars as faculty members, expanding our honors

tracks, and continuing to review and redefine knowledge transfer

process, with an eye toward elevating the department to highly

regarded position in the state level. I thank the current students and

teachers for bringing their talents and fervor to continue the

tradition of striving for their personal best as exemplified by their

predecessors.

Congratulations to Mr. Manoj Balakrishnan and his team who

combined, helped in materializing this issue of LUMINO. It is

endeavor of the newsletter to acquaint its readers with the

achievements of the SAINTGITS MECHANICAL fraternity.
