PG programme in Energy Engineering and Management Accorded NBA Accreditation for 3 Years (2023-2026).

Welcome to the home page of M.Tech Programme in Energy Engineering and Management offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Calicut. This site provides information about the course and the related activities of the members of the Energy Engineering community at National Institute of Technology Calicut.

Energy is a vital input to the development of humankind. Energy sector in India and the world faces problem of depleting conventional sources of energy and environmental impacts due to large scale utilization of fossil fuels. Energy Management strategies aims to evolve solutions to these problems by optimal usage of energy resources and by developing methods and systems to harness new and renewable sources of energy. There is a need to train engineers to develop the necessary skills to confidently take up the issues and challenges in the energy sector. Such trained candidates with clear focus in the emerging area of energy management are expected to contribute effectively to industry, research organizations and academia.

The programme leading to M.Tech. Degree in Mechanical Engineering with specialization in Energy Engineering and Management was started in the year 2000. The programme name was Energy Management initially and was modified as Energy Engineering and Management in the year 2010. The programme aims to train Mechanical Engineering under graduates in the area of Energy with a blend of courses covering advanced topics in energy conversion, design and analysis of energy systems, fluid flow and heat transfer in energy systems, energy conservation in thermal and electrical systems and renewable energy utilization. Other core and elective courses include topics in mathematical methods, energy and environment, computational fluid flow and heat transfer, heat exchanger design included in the programme. The Programme Educational objectives are:

  • To train students with in-depth and advanced knowledge to become professionals in the areas of energy engineering and related fields capable of identifying, analysing and solving practical engineering problems.
  • To enable graduates to carry out innovative and independent research work in academia/industry to develop energy efficient systems and processes and to disseminate the knowledge.
  • To prepare the students to exhibit a high level of professionalism, integrity, environmental and social responsibility, and life-long independent learning ability.

  • First of its kind offered by the “Mechanical Engineering” faculties among all NITs.
  • Active research in the areas of alternative fuels, solar energy utilization, biomass gasification, energy systems modeling and optimization, computational fluid flow and heat transfer applied to energy systems.
