The department of Production Engineering was established in the year 1964 and since its inception, it has been trying to impart quality education to undergraduates and train them to meet the demands of the manufacturing industry.

The department has established links with the industries, R&D organizations, consultancy organizations and academic institutes in the region in furtherance of the cause of manufacturing engineering.

The department sees itself as a pathfinder of emerging technologies and techniques in the area of production engineering and develops students to be technologically and managerially sound to meet the challenges of the open market in the present era of globalization.

VMC 800M 5-axis Machining Center -

The machine is one of latest innovations in machining industry. This machine is used for machining extremely sophisticated geometries. This machine is widely used in defense and automobile sector.

Wire EDM -

A sophisticated Indian make Maxi cut wire EDM machine has been installed in the non- traditional manufacturing laboratory. This computer controlled machine has the ability to process hardened materials efficiently and with high accuracy.

Laser Cutting and Welding Machine -

Laser technology is making its mark in modern manufacturing because of its extreme precision and flexibility in design and material. One laser-processing machine set has been mounted in the nontraditional laboratory of the department. The machine can be used for welding, drilling, cutting, cladding, hardening, of different materials and composites.

Water Jet Machining -

A full-fledged hydraulically controlled abrasive water jet machine has been installed in the department of Production Engineering funded under the AICTE project. This machine is suitable for cutting hard material and very soft material. In future the system will be developed as a cutting tool for Indian mining industry.

Students

Notwithstanding the tight academic schedule, the students indulge in various extra-curricular activities and clubs. They are also pretty aware of the environmental crisis and are part of EPAC (Environment Protection and Awareness Club) to do their bit in saving the earth. The students also hold on to their hobbies by joining cultural clubs, like the Dramatics Society, the Literary Society, the Music Club, the Dance Club, which conduct various fun events throughout the year, keeping the students engaged in the frolic.

They remain actively involved in organizing our cultural fest BITOTSAV and technical fest PANTHEON.

The students apart from extra-curricular clubs also have a host of technical clubs and teams to hone their classroom knowledge practically and competing with the world, bringing laurels to BIT.

Internships

The students have in them a varied sense of understanding in the current methods and operating procedures by the help of subsequent internships during the semester and winter breaks. In order to facilitate the students with new advancements, the department also ensures industrial visits over the period of the semester, so that the students are convinced by practical means of the theoretical sorts.

These are some of the places wherein our students have worked as interns –
