The Mechanical Engineering Department actively promotes student participation in professional bodies to strengthen academic learning with real-world exposure. The department hosts two student chapters: The Institution of Engineers (India) [IEI], The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). These chapters provide platforms for students to engage in expert lectures, workshops, seminars, technical training, and industry interactions. Through such initiatives, students gain deeper insights into professional practices, enhance their technical competence, and build networks with practicing engineers and industry leaders.

The IEI student's chapter (Mechanical) was established in the Department of mechanical engineering, Carmel college of engineering and technology, on 03rd March 2022 and was officially Inaugurated by Er. Chandrasekharan V, Rtd. Chief Engineer, Kerala Water Authority on 29 July 2022. 91 students were enrolled as members. The executive committee was formed with Mr. Vishnu Nandhan H (S6 ME) as the President, Ms. Sruthimol M S (S4 ME) as Secretary, Mr. Vishnu Prasad (S6 ME) as Treasurer, and Dr. Kiran M., Associate Professor as the staff advisor.

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a globally recognized professional organization that promotes the art, science, and practice of multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences. Founded in 1880, ASME develops codes and standards, organizes technical conferences, publishes journals, and fosters professional growth through educational and outreach programs.

The ASME Student Section at Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, CCET was inaugurated on 2nd March 2024 with the objective of fostering technical competence, innovation, and professional development among mechanical engineering students. The section aims to provide a platform for students to engage in technical activities, design challenges, and knowledge-sharing initiatives in alignment with ASME's global vision.
