Manufacturing plays a stellar role in the growth of a nation’s economy. All economic activities are reliant on the efficiency and productivity of manufacturing businesses. Over the years, manufacturing has been instrumental in driving technological advancements and innovations. The M.E. Manufacturing Engineering programme was started in 2014, envisioning the requirement for competent engineers to meet demands in various facets of manufacturing. The programme offers a well- balanced curriculum based on a choice-based credit system with several courses both at the theoretical and practical levels recommended by Anna University. The courses of study include core courses, laboratory courses, audit courses, project work, industry visit and technical seminar, online courses, self-study courses, one-credit courses, and industrial training and internship. Holistically, the programme aims at developing essential analytical capabilities, technical proficiency, and research skills among the students to face emerging challenges thus contributing to the progression of the manufacturing sector.
