Mr. Jermy
Varghese
Thomas

I warmly welcome you to the fourth edition of

the annual newsletter - LUMINO - of the
Department of Mechanical Engineering. Here you
will find the latest news about the department,
its exceptional achievements and updates of
students and faculty. The UG programme in the
department of Mechanical Engineering is certified
with NBA Accreditation status for two year term
Dr. Sreejith C. C.
with effect from 01 July 2016. This was made
possible because of the wholehearted and Professor & Head
Department of
sincere effort taken by the department faculty
Mechanical
members. My hearty congratulations and
Engineering
gratitude to all the faculty members for this
coveted achievement. APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University
(APJAKTU) instituted in the year 2015 is bringing radical change in
the engineering and technology education in the state with the major
objective of producing employable engineering and technology
graduates from engineering colleges. In line with the guidelines and
policies laid down by the university the department is practicing
concept-oriented outcome based teaching-learning system. It is
another feather in the crown of the department that the department
occupies 5th position among the private self-financing engineering
institutions in the state in terms of the first semester APJAKTU
results. Our strategy for ensuring that our department remains wellpositioned to maintain its phenomenal growth includes attracting
highly competent scholars as faculty members, expanding our honors
tracks, and continuing to review and redefine knowledge transfer
process, with an eye toward elevating the department to highly
regarded position in the state level. I thank the current students and
teachers for bringing their talents and fervor to continue the
tradition of striving for their personal best as exemplified by their
predecessors.
Congratulations to Mr. Manoj Balakrishnan and his team who
combined, helped in materializing this issue of LUMINO. It is
endeavor of the newsletter to acquaint its readers with the
achievements of the SAINTGITS MECHANICAL fraternity.
