Message from the HOD Dear All, The Department of Applied Mechanics is a vital offshoot of Civil Engineering Program at L .D .College of Engineering. Applied Mechanics department has a distinguished and technically well-versed faculty imbued with a sense of commitment and sincerity. As the HOD of the department it is a matter of immense pride to bring to you the multifaceted activities and achievements of the department. We are a department of 16 faculty members, 5 of the department's sixteen faculty members currently hold Doctorates in Philosophy, while the remaining faculty members hold Master's degrees. The strength of the courses offered by this department lies in a strong technical and field experience of the faculty who are involved in research and consultancy over and above their regular teaching. The department successfully organized "SAHYOG 2024: An Industry-Academia Meet," with a fascinating panel discussion serving as the event's main attraction. Prominent industry leaders from top government and private institutions attended SAHYOG 2024. Applied mechanics students brought honors to the department on 8.2.2025 when they received gold medals at the 30th GICEA Gold Medal Ceremony 2025. Students once again placed second runner-up in the INSDAG (Institute for Steel Development and Growth)-organized National Level Prestigious Civil Awards Competition this year. Faculties of the department consistently mentor the students for various competitions, encouraging them to excel in their endeavours. The department boasts of 2 Post graduate courses in Structural Engineering and Geotechnical Engineering, and UG program with electives in domain of Structural Analysis and Design and Geo-tech. The department recently launched 2 new Student chapters, Indian Concrete Institute and Bureau of Indian Standards(BIS) Student chapter. The BIS student chapter is opened under the aegis of Institute's MoU with BIS. The chapters are opened with an aim to conduct an array of student centric activities under its aegis. The department each year organizes Expert session under aegis of "RC Sonpal Memorial Lecture series" to keep its stakeholders abreast of latest developments in field of Geotechnical Engineering.
