Cheers to the Mechanical Engineering department at DBCE for providing me with the fundamental skills which paved my way not only to secure my first job right after graduation at CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography but also to get a master’s degree at Western. Without the necessary facilities, state of the art infrastructure and impeccable dedication of the faculty and staff, I would not be in the position that I am in today. Having seen the everlasting growth of the institution from infancy to being one of the most preferred engineering college in Goa, it gives me an immense sense of pride and gratitude to be a part of its alumni base.
