The department is headed by Dr. Visvesvaran Pandurangan having an excellent academic track record. He has obtained degrees from premier institutes such as Guindy Engineering College, Anna University, IIT Kanpur and IIT Delhi. After completing his doctoral programme at IIT Delhi, he took an assignment abroad for about two years where he worked for a multinational company called Power Component Technology Limited which served for Power Industry, Cement Industry, Water Desalination industries and so on. After that with the experience in the power Industry, he got a prestigious Young Scientist award from Department of Science and Technology for his project in RLA. During this period, he worked in IIT Delhi in association with NTPC R& D division. He has an experience of working in an ERP (SAP) implementation team for a sister concern of Polar group of companies. He has also a handful of publications which include reputed journal like Metallurgical Transaction. Overall he has about 14 years of experience in Teaching and Research & Development  out of which more than seven years in UP Technical University at professor level and about 6 years of experience in various industries which include Power Industry, Manufacturing Industry and Information Technology.

The department of Mechanical Engineering is the most significant core branch of engineering which has to contribute the maximum infrastructure development not only of the Nation but at the global scenario. It has to play a significant role in building the nation in the context of various challenging global scenario, particularly in reference ENVIRONMENT.

Galgotias best known to be the premium Institute, obviously this department is the highest esteem for the management. The frontline developments are in transport, aviation, heavy industries and power generation in particular. To meet these challenges, the department has excellent infrastructural inputs, in terms of latest version of equipment in laboratories.

Reference may be made to the Vision-2020 authored by the living legend Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. Hence the objective before us is to produce the graduates in Mechanical Engineering who can take the burden in meeting the challenge before the Nation. It is needless to emphasize that CAD/CAM, Material Science covering Nanotechnology and Cryogenics are to be brought in our curriculum. To meet these challenges and cater in the academic requirements, the department has a contingent of well qualified and talented faculty having rich experience in pedagogy.The base is already there and it is our endeavor that the department starts Post-Graduate courses bringing in all these advanced and much needed areas of immediate use.

Apart from the curriculum, faculty is also fully aware of these components in Mechanical Engineering and as such, we are tightening our belt to train the students in class–room teaching as well as in the Project work. It is with this aim & objective that we are interacting with the Industry also. Frequently eminent personalities from industries, premier research and academic institutions are invited for delivering lectures through seminar series also encourage students for their bright carrier goals.
