Mechanical Workshop
The workshop is the introductory space where students learn the fundamentals of fabrication and "hands-on" manufacturing. It typically includes specialized sections for fitting, carpentry, smithy, and welding, allowing students to understand how raw materials are shaped. You’ll find traditional machines like lathes and shapers used to create basic mechanical components. It emphasizes the importance of manual dexterity and safety protocols in a practical environment.
Strength of Materials Lab
This lab focuses on how solid objects deform and fail under various types of loading. Students use Universal Testing Machines (UTM) to perform tension, compression, and shear tests on materials like steel and aluminium. By measuring stress and strain, the lab helps determine critical properties such as elasticity, hardness, and toughness. These insights are vital for designing safe structures and machine parts.
Heat Transfer Lab
This Laboratory facilitates to introduce the concepts of heat transfer to enable the students to design components subjected to thermal loading.
The students will
- Get idea about basic modes of Heat transfer.
- Be able to solve practical heat transfer problems.
- Be able to analyse heat exchangers.
The important equipment available are Free & Forced Convection Apparatus, Parallel & Counter flow Heat Exchangers, Emissivity apparatus etc.
Thermal Lab
The Thermal lab explores the conversion of energy into work, primarily through the study of internal combustion engines. It features setups for testing the performance of petrol and diesel engines, including multi-cylinder test rigs to calculate thermal efficiency. Students also study the properties of fuels and the behaviour of steam in power cycles. This data is essential for improving engine performance and reducing emissions.
Fluid Mechanics & Machinery Lab
The main objectives of this lab is to demonstrate the applications of theories of basic fluid mechanics and hydraulic machines and to provide a more intuitive and physical understanding of the theory
At the end of the course, the students will be able to
- Discuss physical basis of Bernoulli's equation, and apply it in flow measurement (orifice, Nozzle and Venturi meter), and to a variety of problems.
- Determine the efficiency and plot the characteristic curves of different types of pumps and turbines.
Production Engineering Lab
The objective of this lab is
- To give an idea about different manufacturing processes.
- To acquaint with the basic operations of lathe, shaping, slotting, grinding and milling machines.
- To conduct the exercises involving plane turning, groove cutting, taper turning, facing, thread cutting, gear cutting and grinding operations.
The students will be able to
- Operate different machine tools using proper work holders.
- Produce different part features to the desired quality.
- Perform machining operations in lathe, shaper, planer and drilling machine.
Civil Workshop
The civil engineering workshop acts as the baby steps towards understanding the opportunities of civil engineering. This lab is intended to conduct the practical sessions of first year B-Tech students. Training sessions like setting out of building, area and volume calculation of building and building components, making of brick bonds and basics surveying using levelling instruments are conducted by using this lab facility.
Engineering Graphics Lab
Engineering Graphics Lab is used for creation, modification, analysis and optimization of designs for Improved Engineering Productivity. One can create a library and use a single drawing, a number of times whenever required.
Language Lab
This language laboratory is being utilized for foreign language learning. Students can access audio or audio-visual materials from the computer system.
