The faculty members of the School of Mechanical Engineering are actively involved in conducting research works. A national peer-reviewed journal named ''SMVDU-National Journal of Mechanical Engineering'' is going to be launched soon. Faculty members are pursuing research in the areas of applications of graph theory and matrix approach and non-traditional optimization techniques in manufacturing engineering. High speed machining of nickel based super alloys, environment friendly machining operations, and CAD/CAM/CIM are the other areas of active research.
