The Department of Mechanical Engineering is equipped with well-established laboratories that provide students with hands-on experience and practical exposure to modern engineering tools and technologies. These laboratories support teaching, research, and project work in core areas of mechanical engineering, enabling students to strengthen their theoretical knowledge through experimentation and practical applications.
Heat and mass transfer lab:
This laboratory enables students to understand the three modes of heat transfer—conduction, convection, and radiation—through practical experiments. The available experimental setups help students develop analytical and experimental skills and provide a foundation for advanced experimental studies in heat transfer and thermal engineering.
Basic Workshop:
The Basic Workshop is divided into four units: Carpentry, Fitting, Foundry, and Welding. This facility provides first-year engineering students with fundamental hands-on training in basic manufacturing and fabrication processes. The workshop also supports machining, fabrication, and minor maintenance works related to student projects and laboratory activities.
- Carpentry
- Fitting
- Foundry
- Welding
This course is conducted for the first year students of all branches in Engineering. Minor services of equipments and machining and fabrication related to final year project work are being carried out in these workshops.
Special Machines Lab :
This laboratory is equipped with various machine tools such as lathe machines, milling machines, drilling machines, shaper machines, and grinding machines. It provides students with practical exposure to machining operations and enables them to understand the working principles and applications of different machine tools.
Fluid Power and Mechatronics Lab:
The Fluid Power Laboratory allows students to apply the principles of hydraulic and pneumatic systems learned in the class room. The laboratory includes a wide range of hydraulic and pneumatic components, along with electrically controlled solenoid valves. The Mechatronics Laboratory provides facilities to study the integration of mechanical systems, electronics, sensors, actuators, and control systems.
Dynamics and Metrology Lab:
This laboratory provides practical knowledge in the design and analysis of mechanisms used in machines and automobiles. Students perform experiments related to subjects such as engineering mechanics, theory of machines, and vibration analysis. Equipment such as governors, gyroscopes, and balancing machines helps students understand machine dynamics. The metrology section equips students with knowledge of linear and angular measuring instruments used in precision engineering measurements.
