Engineering education has placed an increased emphasis on the ability of an individual to perform a theoretical analysis of a problem. It is important that engineers are able to perform successful experiments and it is equally important that they know or be able to estimate the accuracy of their measurements.
Instruments that are put on work regularly might deteriorate in their performance because of some practical unavoidable reasons such as change in environmental and working conditions other than which are specified by the manufacturer. So it is very essential to frequently check the instruments against a known higher standard to find the accuracy of the instruments. This process is called calibration. Engineers should have through idea of procedure for calibrating different instruments and be able to draw proper conclusions and interpretation of results.
In workshop, students undergo training in fitting and welding. Students perform 5 fitting models and 4 welding models in a semester. Students are also demonstrated how to perform sheet metal and carpentry works. The workshop is also equipped with drilling and grinding machines for the benefit of students.
Mechanical engineers in particular should have knowledge of properties of engineering materials and their applications. Different materials have different physical, chemical and mechanical properties and suitability.

Thermal engineering is a branch of science that covers energy conversion from one form to another, working of IC engines, modes of Heat transfer, principles of refrigeration and air conditioning etc. The field of thermal engineering includes a lot of applications that can be classified as the combination of thermodynamics and heat transfer, such as IC engines, air conditioning and refrigeration systems. The objective of this laboratory is to provide the student a good environment to understand some very important concepts and applications in the field of IC engines and refrigeration. These concepts are necessary to understand how the typical thermal devices work (refrigerators, air conditioning devices, car engines or steam engines). These fundamentals will be used to link the phenomenological processes taking place in the engine for issues of: power generation, emissions and environmental impact, fuel economy and fuel composition effects on engine operation and mechanical limitations of obtaining ideal performance. This laboratory is also actively involved in advanced research in enhanced heat transfer, solar energy, heat pipes and thermoelectric cooling of high heat flux electronic devices.
In engineering practice, basic and applied research in thermodynamics and heat transfer is increasingly important today since these play a crucial role in the design of vehicles, power and process plants, cooking and heating devices and even IC chips, among other things. Performance enhancement of any such devices is a constant endeavor which can be achieved through the studies of heat transfer. Through the course of heat transfer lab, one can understand the basic concepts of heat transfer by conducting experiments practically. This course mainly throws light on understanding of three modes of heat transfer such as conduction, convection and radiation and heat transfer by phase change. It covers experiments such as determination of thermal conductivity of metal rod, heat transfer through composite wall, natural and forced convection heat transfer, transient heat conduction, heat transfer through fins under natural and forced convection conditions, determination of Stefan-Boltzman constant and emissivity of grey surfaces, boiling and condensation and performance test on vapour compression refrigerator and air conditioner. Students undergo training in this lab during their VI semester.
Engineering is applying scientific knowledge to find solutions for problems of practical importance. A basic knowledge of Fluid mechanics and machinery is essential for all the scientists and engineers because they frequently come across a variety of problems involving flow of fluids such as in aerodynamics, force of fluids on structural surfaces, fluid transport. The facilities of Fluid mechanics and Machinery Laboratory are used, to run demonstrative experiments to Mechanical, Civil and Biotechnology Engineering students. This course is an indispensable supplement to the Fluid mechanics and machinery theory. It covers measuring devices and techniques, error analysis in experimental works and analysis of assumptions in the theory of fluid mechanics. The lab experiments are broadly classified into individual experiments and group experiments. Under individual experiments, tests are conducted on calibration of veturimeter, orificemeter, flow nozzle, V-notch. It also includes experiments on impact of jet on vanes, determination of major and minor energy losses, friction coefficient etc. Group experiments consists conduction of performance test on Pelton wheel, Francis and Kaplan water turbines, single stage and multi stage centrifugal pumps, reciprocating pump, reciprocating air compressor and air blower. Students undergo training in this lab during their V semester.
The objective of the lab is to perform experiments which are related to Mechanics of Solid subject in order to understand the behaviour of different mechanical equipments which students study in theory. We make students to perform different practical like Simple Beam, Different Lifting Machines, Tension and Compression test , Force and Force Systems, Moment of Inertia of Fly Wheel, Coefficient of Static Friction etc.
CAD (Computer Aided Design) provides a convenient means to create designs for almost every engineering discipline. It can be used for architectural design, landscape design, interior design, civil and surveying, mechanical design, electrical engineering, plant design, industrial design, duct design, electronic circuit design, plumbing design, textile design and product design.
The following are the main objectives of CAD Lab:
To present an overview of CADD and describe its applications in different fields.
To describe common terms associated with CADD hardware and software.
To outline the basic principles associated with CADD and to demonstrate common drafting techniques and shortcuts used by professionals.
To introduce the advanced capabilities of CADD and how they can be used to increase productivity.
To provide information about the CADD industry resources.
Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) is the use of computer -based software tools that assist engineers and machinists in manufacturing or prototyping product components. Its primary purpose is to create a faster production process and components with more precise dimensions and material consistency, which in some cases, uses only the required amount of raw material (thus minimizing waste), while simultaneously reducing energy consumption. CAM is a programming tool that makes it possible to manufacture physical models using computer-aided design (CAD) programs. CAM creates real life versions of components designed within a software package.
The main research areas in the Production technology laboratory are manufacturing technologies, metal cutting and cutting tools, production automation, computer aided manufacturing (CAM) and computer integrated manufacturing (CIM), quality control and quality systems, product development and prototype manufacturing, and tool design and manufacturing.
