Forging the Future: 100 Years of Mechanical Engineering at Jadavpur University is a tribute to the pioneers of the Department who fostered its cultural milieu and propelled it towards global excellence over the course of a century. The emphasis is on the academic contributions of the teachers, the development of laboratories, the transition from a colonial workshop-based education to cutting-edge innovation, and the inspiring teaching of the faculty. Mechanical Engineering, being a laboratory and workshop-based discipline, has undergone significant changes, and the transition to computerisation is presented with conviction.
