About

       The Mechanical Engineering Department is one of the core departments of GCET. It is also one of the largest departments with more than 330 students. The aim of the department is to disseminate knowledge and technologies through quality teaching, research and its applications in the mechanical and allied disciplines. Dr. Pooyan is the head of the research group, Dr. Siva and Dr. Milad are the research council members and Dr. Morteza is working remotely with the department. Our faculty conduct advanced research in fundamental and emerging areas of Mechanical engineering.
