    Sachin P George

    I am Sachin P George (2013-2017 batch), I have completed my Mechanical Engineering in KITS. As our chancellor says "We are Chosen by god to study in KITS", and it proves to be very true in my life. I completed my 12th std with a very descent marks and applied to a lot of college but could not clear any of their entrance examination and Karunya Entrance Exam was my final hope....

    Internships done Abroad by Our Students


    Shawn Jacob (UR15ME151)
    Internship at Rajamangala University of Technology, Thailand

    I have done my internship at Rajamangala University of Technology, Srivijaya Faculty of Engineering, Songkhla, Thailand. I was there for a duration of two months where I worked under my guide Dr Marwan Affandi who is a professor there. I worked on the 'CAD modelling of a caravan using SOLIDWORKS 2016'. The basic mechanics of the designed caravan was studied. I also had the opportunity to teach 2 batches of mechanical engineering students during my internship there. I also had the opportunity to travel within the country and experience their rich and varied culture. Overall, it was a very good experience.
    Nihal Kumar (UL15ME013)
    Internship at METALEX GROUP, Ghana from June 2018 to September 2018.
    In METALEX Group, West Africa, I had a very rich experience on an impressive range of machinery which includes Roofing profile machines, Coating machine, Razor-wire cutting machine, Brick-making machine, for floor and roofing tiles. Likewise I learnt how to make a program and feed the program for the plasma & oxy-acetylene cutting machine. I also had an opportunity to fix the existing defect in some of the machinery in the company. It was a very good industry exposure and hands on experience in the field of manufacturing. I also had an opportunity to interact with people of different culture.

    Current Research


    Development of Non- Asbestos Organic Brake Friction Materials
    Research Scholar: Mr. J. Sudhan Raj, RR13ME003
    under the guidance of Dr. T. V. Christy,
    Professor of Department of Mechanical Engineering.

    The most paramount safety aspect of an automobile is its brake system, which must stop the vehicle and also do so reliably under varying conditions. During a cessation, the kinetic energy of a moving conveyance is converted to heat at the sliding interface of the friction pair. Emission of dust from asbestos during braking causes lung diseases. The raised levels of awareness in health hazards due to asbestos led to non-asbestos friction compositesautomotive brake disc pads, shoes, linings, blocks, clutch facings, etc.
    Fabrication and characterization of Al syntactic foams
    Research Associate: Mr. Jerin Jose
    under the guidance of Dr. T. V. Christy,
    Professor of Department of Mechanical Engineering.
    Syntactic foams are composite materials synthesized by filling a metal, polymer,or ceramic matrix with hollow spheres called micro-balloons or cenospheres.The presence of hollow particles results in lower density, higher specific strength (strength divided by density), lower coefficient of thermal expansion, and, in some cases, radar or sonartransparency. Tailorability is one of the biggest advantages of these materials. The matrix material can be selected from almost any metal, polymer, or ceramic. Micro-balloons are available in a variety of sizes and materials, including glass microspheres, cenospheres, carbon, and polymers.
