Nowadays, as the technology is rapidly improving day by day, in future, there may be no requirement of traditional methods to create Engineering Drawings and most of the companies also focusing on fast results through the usage of design software have to increase productivity to earn more and more profits. A student has to enhance his skills in Designing, Analysis and in executing a part program to reach for industry requirements. Keeping this in mind, the Department has provided a facility to the students to improve their professional skills by establishing CAD/CAM Laboratory in their curriculum. The CAD/CAM laboratory provides efficient skills on designing software and manufacturing a component.The students can draft a model in both 2D and 3D objects, can do analysis of the models, can write, can execute and can machine a component using CNC Machines Important things in the lab includes

Engineering Workshop has become important field in the industrial atmosphere to produce products for the service of mankind. The knowledge of converting a raw material into a useful product is highly essential for all engineers by familiarizing with concepts. The basic need of Engineering Workshop is to provide theoretical and practical knowledge of manufacturing environment to all the engineering students. Therefore, an attempt has been made through this laboratory to learn both the theoretical and practical knowledge of shaping a product. Considering the general needs of engineering students in the country and the fact that they hardly get any exposure to hand tools, equipments, machines and manufacturing setups, a basic course in Engineering Workshop remains a core subject for all the branches of engineering. This Engineering Workshop laboratory classes covers most of the basic skill that an engineering students needs to familiarize themselves.
The Engineering Workshop laboratory has four major sections such as Fitting shop, Carpentry shop, Sheet metal shop and Electrical wiring. The utility of each shop in shaping engineering students are discussed here as, Fitting Shop: The fitting shop is related to assembly of parts, after bringing the dimension or shape to the required size or form, in order to secure the necessary fit. Carpentry shop: Carpentry shop deals with making joints for a variety of applications like door frames, cabinet making furniture, packing etc. Sheet metal shop: In sheet metal shop an engineering student learns the art of making various house hold articles such as boxes, cans, funnels, ducts etc., which are made from a flat sheet of metals. Electrical wiring: Electrical wiring deals with understanding of various types of wiring systems, its associated devices and acquires skills in house wiring. Moreover it is essential for the practicing engineers to train the best practices and safety measures in electrical wiring.
The Fluid Mechanics & Hydraulic Machines laboratory is equipped with a number of equipment and experimental setups to study the fundamentals and applied aspects of fluid mechanics and hydraulic machines. Students can perform tests and find the flow rate of equipment like venturi meter and orifice meter. Bernoulli’s equation is verified through the Bernoulli’s apparatus. Frictional losses are determined by the apparatus named Losses in pipe friction. Measurements of critical Performance parameters like efficiency, flow rate etc. of various hydraulic machines such as turbines, pumps are performed in this lab.
The lab is also equipped with centrifugal and reciprocating pumps, Pelton Wheel, Francis and Kaplan Turbinesby which students can conduct the performance test todetermine the efficiency at different operating conditions.

| 5 | ARC Welding | Arc welding equipment is used to produce the joints between the metals. We can able to conduct the experiments like direct current straight polarity, reverse polarity and effect of current on weld strength etc. | .jpg) |
| 6 | TIG Welding | TIG welding is used to join the metals which are having low melting point materials with less than 5 mm thick ness | .jpg) |
| 7 | Gas Welding | Oxy-acetylene welding uses a combination of oxygen and a fuel gas (typically acetylene) and is used primarily for welding thin metal sections. Oxy-gasoline welding utilizes a combination of oxygen and gasoline. This method can be more effective than acetylene for torch-cutting steel plates. | .jpg) |
| 8 | Spot Welding | Spot welding (also known as resistance spot welding) is a resistance welding process. This welding process is used primarily for welding two or more metal sheets together by applying pressure and heat from an electric current to the weld area. It works by contacting copper alloy electrodes to the sheet surfaces, whereby pressure and electric current are applied and heat is generated by the passage of current through resistive materials such as low carbon steels. | .jpg)
|
| 9 | Injection Molding and Blow moulding | Injection molding is a process in which a thermoplastic polymer is heated above its melting point, resulting in the conversion of the solid polymer to a molten fluid with a reasonably low viscosity. This melt is mechanically forced, i.e.,injected, into a mold in the shape of the desired final object. Blow molding is the forming of a hollow object by inflating or blowing a thermoplastic molten tube called a “parison” in the shape of a mold cavity. | .jpg) |
| 10 | Hydraulic press | The equipment is used to produce the blanking and piercing operation And also it can be used to produce the required shape of the metal forming operations also can be performed by using hydraulic press | .jpg) |
The Thermal Laboratory provides students with a lot of opportunities to study different types of IC engines, boiler models, and to do innovative projects. We can carry out the performance test, heat balance test, and retardation test on a variety of IC engines such as petrol/diesel fueled single/double cylinder engines with mechanical/electrical/hydraulic loading devices.
