B.Tech. (Mechanical Engineering) – Smart Manufacturing

The Smart Manufacturing specialization within Mechanical Engineering at SR University focuses on modern manufacturing technologies, intelligent production systems, and digital transformation in industries. Students learn advanced manufacturing processes, Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM), CNC machining, additive manufacturing, industrial automation, and quality control. The curriculum introduces Industry 4.0 technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), data-driven production monitoring, digital twins, and smart factory systems. Hands-on laboratory sessions, industrial projects, and internships develop practical skills in process optimization, production planning, and manufacturing system design. Graduates are prepared for careers in advanced manufacturing, production engineering, quality assurance, industrial automation, and smart factory operations.
