The Engineering workshop is aimed to provide the basic working knowledge of the production and properties of different materials used in the industry and to apprise the student of basics and applications of various types of tools, equipment and techniques used in manufacturing to facilitate shaping of these materials into useful components. The Engineering workshop should impart a good theoretical background as well as give a sound practical on hand practice to a student in various trades such as Carpentry, Fitting, House wiring and Tin smithy to serve the society in improving the living standards. Though engineers are not going to become carpenters or blacksmiths or skilled workmen on shop floor, but their exposure to these vocational trades provides them a bird’s eye view of basic practical activities associated with all branches of engineering.
Heat transfer is the science dealing with the transfer of energy in the form of heat from one body to another as a result of temperature difference between them. The science of heat transfer provides an explanation for the different modes of heat transfer and also enables one to predict the rate at which energy transfer takes place under specified conditions. These fundamentals will be used to link the phenomenological Heat transfer processes taking place in different engineering equipment. The lab consists of equipment for the measurement of thermal conductivity, convective and radiation behavior of different types of materials and objects in various conditions. The study of heat exchangers is also a part of this laboratory where heat transfer rate of different types of flows can be measured. The laboratory is helpful to the students in understanding various typical concepts of heat transfer by doing experimentation successive to the theory class. The equipment available in this laboratory is listed are Heat exchanger – parallel flow, Heat exchanger – counter flow, Composite slab / metal rod, Critical heat flux apparatus, Emissivity apparatus, Pin fin - natural convection, Pin fin - forced convection, Insulating powder apparatus, Forced convection apparatus, Stefan – Boltzmann’s apparatus, Lagged pipe apparatus.
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. 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 boasts of the latest internal combustion engines for research and academic purposes. P.C. Based single cylinder 4-stroke Diesel engine test rig, P.C. Based single cylinder 4-stroke Petrol engine test rig, and Variable compression ratio single cylinder 4-S Petrol engine test rig
Production engineering encompasses the application of castings, machining processing, joining processes, metal cutting & tool design, metrology, machine tools, machining systems, automation, jigs and fixtures, die and mould design, material science, design of automobile parts, and machine designing and manufacturing. Production engineering also overlaps substantially with manufacturing engineering and industrial engineering. The names are often interchangeable.
Materials scientists emphasize understanding how the history of a material (its processing) influences its structure, and thus the material's properties and performance. The understanding of processing-structure-properties relationships is called the § materials paradigm. This paradigm is used to advance understanding in a variety of research areas, including nanotechnology, biomaterials, and metallurgy. Materials science is also an important part of forensic engineering and failure analysis – investigating materials, products, structures or components which fail or do not function as intended, causing personal injury or damage to property. Such investigations are key to understanding, for example, the causes of various aviation accidents and incidents. Solid mechanics is fundamental for civil, aerospace, nuclear, biomedical and mechanical engineering, for geology, and for many branches of physics such as materials science.[1] It has specific applications in many other areas, such as understanding the anatomy of living beings, and the design of dental prostheses and surgical implants. One of the most common practical applications of solid mechanics is the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation. Solid mechanics extensively uses tensors to describe stresses, strains, and the relationship between them.

Manufacturers currently facing challenges in producing high quality products with reduced costs. As companies clinches global product development and production, the manufacturing enterprise requires expanded virtual engineering teams with fully integrated product development processes. To gain a competitive edge, manufacturers must look beyond commodity technologies, isolated tasks, individual efficiency, and point solutions to address the broader issues of product lifecycle productivity. CAD/CAM and its tools empower companies to design, simulate, and manufacture products in an integrated environment. The Computer Aided Design (CAD) Centre has leading edge CAD/CAM and CAE software and hardware facilities which include 75 computer systems and high-end CAD softwares such as Inventor series 5.3, ANSYS Multi Physics Ver10.0, Auto desk mechanical Solution Set 2006, Pro – E , Wild Fire 4.0,CATIA V 5R 15 and Star CCM++/design (software). A number of faculty and students have already made excellent use of these softwares for their computational and analytical projects and some are in progress.
