Workshop Practice Laboratory

The workshop practice lab offers students essential hands-on exposure to fundamental manufacturing and fabrication processes. It bridges the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world industrial practices while fostering practical skills, precision, and a strong awareness of safety protocols. Through direct interaction with tools, machines, and materials, students develop confidence in their workmanship and acquire problem-solving skills essential for mechanical engineers. The lab includes the following sections.

• Machine Shop: Students learn basic machining operations, including turning, facing, drilling, boring, and threading, using lathe machines, drilling machines, and grinding machines.
• Fitting Shop: This section focuses on marking, filing, sawing, chipping, drilling, tapping, and assembly work using hand tools, vices, and measuring instruments to achieve precise fits
• Carpentry Shop: Students practice wood cutting, planning, chiselling, drilling, and joint making, gaining knowledge of different types of wood and carpentry tools used in basic fabrication.
• Welding Shop: Students are introduced to gas and arc welding processes, safety practices, and basic welding joints, enabling them to understand the metal joining techniques used in fabrication and repair.
• Moulding and Casting Shop: This section introduces students to sand moulding, pattern making, core making, and basic casting operations, providing an overview of foundry practices and component production.

Overall, the workshop practice laboratory establishes a strong practical foundation, preparing students to confidently progress to advanced courses in manufacturing, design, and industrial engineering.
