This specialised workshop accommodates different types of special machines including Gear Hobbing machine. Students are given hands on training in all the machine tools to cater the needs of industries.
This basic workshop provides hands on training to students in electrical wiring. Students are given exposure in various types of metal joints based on real time metal joints practices. In the electrical wiring workshop, the students create, build, connect and verify the electrical circuits for domestic applications. Electrical safety is imparted to students during the training sessions.
Strength of Materials Lab - The main objective of this lab is to determine all the properties of engineering materials and their testing procedure for undergraduate students with all required experiments. These properties are useful for the students in subjects like strength of materials and Basic Mechanical Engineering. All the major properties are determined using related experiments such as tensile test, compressive test, hardness test, impact test torsion and bending test etc
Fluid Machinery Lab - The lab is included in curriculum of III year students is well-equipped and enables students to understand the fundamentals of turbine, pumps and ram. The turbine models available in lab are Pelton, Frances. Apart from it, other experimental setup in lab are reciprocating gear pump, vane pump, centrifugal pump, impact jet apparatus, test rig, hydraulic ram. Objectives of the experimental setup are to compare the results of analytical models introduced in lecture to the actual behavior of real fluid flows
This laboratory offers hands on training in the calculation of various physical and thermal properties of materials. The students are given exposure in preparing heat balance sheets, port timing and valve timing diagrams, and emission test. The students are given in depth training in finding thermal and physical properties of materials like fuels, etc.
This laboratory is well equipped to improve the skills of the students in dismantling and assembly of automobile components and their services. The lab is equipped with experimental setup which enables students to conduct experiments on engines and other automobile subsystems. In automobile lab, working models of both petrol and diesel engines are available for students to perform tests like Morse test, SFC.
Precision instruments available in this laboratory provide hands on training to the students to make them industry ready .This laboratory provides the know-how of the atomic structures of materials and possible defects therein through various animated computerized models. Properties are also dependent on the micro-structure (grain structure and phase structure) of the materials. With the help of different equipments and machines the students are motivated to analyze the micro-structure and to estimate the resulting properties out of it.
Mechatronics lab is to train students and make them industry ready in areas of Automation Design, Research and Development, Automatic Production, Manufacturing Lines, Defense, Home Automation, A.I. Sales and Remotely Automated Services. It integrates electronics and intelligent control in mechanical systems, focusing on the applied understanding of various aspects of engineering blended with the dynamic needs of the emerging field of Mechatronics. Mechatronics Engineers typically act as the link between Technicians and Engineers, and work from conception of a project to the completion of the project. They also assist with design, development, and testing of electrical or electronic equipment. When mechanical equipment includes electrical or electronics components, Mechatronics Engineers also design, develop, and test that machinery.
