Mechanical engineering is an essential discipline that applies physics principles to design, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems across various industries. The demand for mechanical engineers is rising, as they are employed in sectors including manufacturing, automotive, biomedical, and consulting, addressing challenges with innovative solutions. Educational institutions are also integrating training and placement programs to enhance student employability through internships and interactions with industry professionals.

1. Mechanical is an Enggineering Discipline that involves the application of principle of physics
for analysis, design, manufacturing & maintenance of mech. System. It is one of the highest
employment generator among all the engineering streams due to wide spread range of
technology .Mech. engineering finds application in all fields of technology. It is one of
primitive branch of engineering which have remained always in demand & continue to be in
future. This is why Mech. Trade is known as an evergreen trade. As the industrial sector has
drastically risen in pace in last decade; the need for mechanical engineering has increased
exponentially.
Practically every company that designs and produces a product employs a mechanical
engineer. But mechanical engineers can also be found in research labs, the military,
government, and in other professions such as medicine, law or teaching.

2. Most mechanical engineering jobs require design experience. When a need comes
about for a new or improved product, companies call upon mechanical engineers to
do the job. Engineers have to push beyond the limits of their previous work and use
innovative technology to meet project requirements successfully.
A second major area of employment for mechanical engineers is manufacturing.
Manufacturing jobs cover nearly everything involved in developing a product, from
selecting the appropriate materials to choosing the correct machinery to manufacture
the product. Most mechanical engineers in this industry work for equipment
manufacturers, aerospace companies, utilities, material processing plants,
transportation companies, and petroleum companies. They also work with small
firms, consulting practices, universities, and government research labs.
Specific assignments might involve research and development, design of equipment
or systems, supervision of production, plant engineering, administration, sales
engineering, the testing and evaluation of machines and entire plants. Some
mechanical engineering titles and their functions include:

3. Automotive Engineer: Mechanical engineers design many car parts for the
automobile industry. As an automotive engineer, you could solve transportation and
safety problems by creating better and more efficient engines or by developing
improved safety features.
Biomedical engineer: Mechanical engineers work with a variety of medical
professionals to design mobility aids, prosthetics, and artificial organs.
Consulting: Once mechanical engineers have gained significant on-the-job
experience and developed a high level of expertise, they might choose to work for
themselves as consultants or independent contractors. Here they can work on
projects of their choosing for clients they respect. The consulting field offers
opportunities in large and small engineering service firms and in private practices.
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) engineer: In this field,
engineers design refrigeration systems for making frozen foods, or air-conditioning
and heating systems for businesses and industrial buildings, residential homes,
autos, hospitals, and schools.
Nuclear engineer: The design of nuclear power plants requires the services of a
mechanical engineer. The engineer must understand the fundamentals of nuclear
design, know how to operate the plant efficiently, and evaluate the environmental
factors associated with nuclear plants.

4. Robotics engineer: A mechanical engineer may design machines that build other
machines. For instance, a robotics engineer may be involved with creating the
devices that are used in assembling automobiles. Engineers are concerned with the
robot's structure, its joint mechanisms, bearings, and heat transfer characteristics.
Teaching: A desire to help mold the next generation of engineers motivates some
mechanical engineers to move into academic careers. Engineers in colleges oversee
research activities, manage laboratories, and mentor students. They also write and
publish books and technical papers about mechanical engineering.
Mechanical engineers can find employment at virtually any institute where innovation
takes place. They commonly work in the government, research, industry, military,
teaching, management or consulting sectors.
The government agencies that typically hire mechanical engineers include the U.S.
Navy, Patent and Trademark Office, International Trade Commission, Army Corps of
Engineers, Department of Energy .
From developing toys to prosthetic legs, the types of projects you can be a part of are
as vast as your imagination. With a degree in mechanical engineering, diversity is the
key. You can wind up working in a laboratory or an outdoor construction site.
Remember, nearly every mechanical device was created by a mechanical engineer so
the possibilities for employment are virtually endless.

5. Training and Placement Cell
The Training & Placement Cell of North West Group of Colleges coordinates the entire placement
and training activities.
The Placement and Training Cell, in the true spirit of hands on exposure, facilitates the students for
the campus Recruitment drives as well as International Educational liaisons. With the cooperation
of in house experts and the experts drawn from professional agencies, our Training and Placement
Cell organizes certain orientation programmes such as Reasoning Tests, Aptitudes Tests, Group
Discussions, Mock Interviews, Brain storming Sessions etc. on the regular basis in order to
motivate and develop the personality of the students.
The Cell organizes summer internship programmes for students to provide them with hands-on
experience and introducing them to the professional environment.
Our training and placement cell arranges training for students in industries for 6 weeks at
the end of 4th semester and for 6 months in 7th or 8th semester. The students of the college
undergo their training at various industries as HMT, Sonalika, R& D centre,GNA
phagwara,RCF kapurthala, , Maruti Udyog Ltd., L&T,Havells, DRDO.
The Training & Placement Cell firmly believes in 'Industry-Institute Interaction'. In order to
accomplish 'Industry-Institute Interaction' it organizes technical talks and national seminars to
provide a platform for the budding engineers to interact with professionals from various industries.
It encourages visits to the industries by the college students. It arranges for industrial problems to
be worked on by students as part of their projects. The college has signed MOUs with many
industrial organizations and industrial chambers. Technical paper presentation contests are held in
collaboration with industries to discuss new developments and trends.
