Over recent years, Applied Mechanics became one of the most sought after engineering course in India. The course is meant to offer a systematic understanding of the fundamentals of mechanics. It is the best choice for students who are looking for a rewarding career in the field of mechanics. 

Applied Mechanics

Applied Mechanics course is designed to make high-level professionals who are capable of conducting creative scientific research using the applications of applied mechanics to solve various problems in their domain. It makes one understand more on various principles of heat, force and the conservation of mass and energy to better analyze the static and dynamic physical systems.

Those who are passionate about contributing to the development of aircraft, automobiles, electrical appliances, heating and cooling system of weapon systems can opt for this course. The course aims at students who are innovative and interested in building new things. This interest is essential for courses like this and it’ll make the excel in their professional career.

Some of the areas of expertise in the course are  Linear and Nonlinear elasticity, Composite materials, Impact Mechanics, Computational Mechanics, Turbulence modelling, etc.

How to Join

One who wants to join Signal Processing should pass the qualifying examination with an aggregate score of 60-75% in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. After completing the same, the student has to appear for the Joint Entrance Exam Main (JEE - Main) to get admission into one of the top colleges or universities in India.

Most of the engineering colleges in India offer admission to students based on the JEE Main examination. It is a national level entrance examination done by the National Testing Agency (NTA) in India.

All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is the national level apex authority responsible for the regulation and control of all engineering colleges and courses available in India. AICTE is the statutory authority responsible for proper planning and coordination on the development of the technical education system in India.

Career Prospects

Production mechanic companies, customer service companies, manufacturing companies and hardware companies are some of the popular recruiters of Applied Mechanics graduates. They are often hired as Engineering technologist, technology developers and implementers, business head, Project manager etc. The job profile and pay scale depending on your expertise and the institution you are trained at. Apart from this, one can also opt to join the research activities in the domain or even choose the academic field itself and become a professor in colleges and universities
