Genesis

Adhiparasakthi Engineering College, established in Nov. 1984 by the Trust with the then three popular branches - Civil, Mechanical, Electronics and Communication Engineering mainly meant to serve the rural community by virtue of its location at Melmaruvathur. Training Subsequently further specializations were promoted and at present the following seven UG programs and two PG programs with a student intake as indicated in the brackets have been established. Civil Engineering (60) Mechanical Engineering (60) Electronics &Communication Engineering (60) Electrical &Electronics Engineering (60) Computer Science &Engineering (90) Information Technology (90) Chemical Engineering (40) Management Studies (60) Master of Computer Applications (60)

Facilities

The engineering school has extensive facilities in addition to the main engineering building. The institution has well-built multi-storied separate hostels for boys and girls. There is a large complex of engineering lab buildings where students can get hands-on experience in all the fields as well as support services.

New Facilities

The special features of new phase of development include an annex building (H-building) to house Civil, ECE, CSE and IT, in each of its floors and a centralized computer center catering the needs of computer education for all the branches of Engineering besides the relevant lab infrastructures with equipment fabricated with sophisticated testing facilities.

The new engineering annex building and computer center are in the final stages of construction. The computer center will be fully climate controlled with three floors devoted to networked computer stations for the students.

Scope

The quality level of the education being offered to the students as on the date is excellent. In all in the campus, there are 1768 students. Student academic performances is supervised, guided and monitored by counsellors nominated from the faculty strength of each department. The students of each departments have their own association to guide them in building their awareness through their representations in co-curriculum activities such as seminars, conventions, technical contests, expert lectures, industrial visits, industry-institute interaction and other extra-curricular activities. The institution has an independent Training 8 Placement cell with representatives from each department to take care of the students' practical training and placements includeing the necessary career guidance.

The performance of the students at University level has been outstanding over the years with students securing many University ranks almost in all University Examinations. A centralised library meeting the needs of all the branches has been computerised for faster search and access of books to students and faculty.

In the field of sports and games too, the institution offers all the assistance through an independent department of physical education and a well planned and built sports complex. There is one NCC unit (Air Force) and NSS unit functioning effectively.

Amma says it is important that the students not forget that we share this planet with many others and how we use our knowledge impacts them as well as ourselves. For this reason there is an animal park at the center of the engineering complex to remind students of this.
