This decade is witnessing a rapid growth in an Automobile
industry due to liberalization, which demands for specialists
in this field. This demand can be met by well qualified
engineers who are well versed with design, development,
manufacturing and maintenance of eco-friendly vehicles,
alternative energy sources and modern transportation
systems.
With a mission to create techno excellent engineers,
the department is established in 1983 with intake capacity
of 60 students. Automobile engineering department in
our institute is one of the oldest and unique four years
degree course affiliated to Shivaji University Kolhapur.
The department has well qualified and dedicated faculty
and is known for its high academic standard, well-maintained
discipline and complete infrastructure facilities.
From academic year 2010-11 department has started M.E.(Automobile)
with intake capacity. The Department has Center of Excellence
in the field of (i) Automotive research and diagnosis
Studies (ii) Engine Testing (iii) Alternative Energy
Sources (iv) Modeling and simulation
The Department has maintained excellent interaction
with Industry and R & D organizations. The Department
has Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) student chapter.
We have established Automobile Engineering Students
Association (AESA).
