Heavy Engineering Design
Heavy Engineering Design
Heavy Engineering Design focuses on the development, analysis, and manufacturing of large and complex mechanical structures and equipment. The course emphasizes design accuracy, safety, structural integrity, and productivity, catering to high-load applications. Students learn to conceptualize, model, and test components like pressure vessels, storage tanks, cranes, conveyors, pipelines, and structural frameworks using global standards.
It also includes fabrication drawings, welding design, and integration with manufacturing processes such as machining, casting, and forming. This discipline plays a vital role in industries where robustness and precision are essential, preparing learners for high-impact roles in infrastructure and core engineering sectors.
🧠 Why Choose Heavy Engineering?
Heavy industries are the backbone of industrial development and infrastructure across sectors like steel, oil & gas, energy, transportation, and mining. With global investment in smart manufacturing and infrastructure expansion, there is a growing need for engineers trained in large-scale systems, load analysis, and mechanical design.
This course bridges the knowledge gap between engineering concepts and real-world industrial systems. It enables learners to contribute to equipment layout, system assembly, and design documentation using modern tools like 3D modeling and CAD-based drafting.
🎯 Learning Outcomes
Students will develop strong foundations in mechanical design principles tailored to large-scale applications. Key outcomes include the ability to design components for high mechanical loads, understand material behavior, perform finite element analysis (FEA), and create production-ready manufacturing drawings.
Learners will also be trained in interpreting international design codes such as ASME, DIN, and IS standards. Additional skills include bill of materials (BOM) creation, weldment design, and component optimization for strength, cost, and manufacturability.
