CAD-CAM LAB
This laboratory gives training to students in mechanical engineering-oriented soft skills and makes them more suitable to the needs of the Industry. The following packages which are currently in industrial use have been installed in the systems in the Laboratory. They include CADian Mechanical 2008 Iron CAD Algor Multiphysics (Network Version) Edge CAM V12 (Network Version)
BASIC WORKSHOPS
All students entering into the Engineering course, irrespective of the branch of study , are exposed to hands-on training in some of the important trades like Carpentry, House - Wiring, Fitting etc. This exposure , right at the beginning of his / her academic Program, instils a practical approach towards engineering education and helps buildup the student’s level of confidence.
Students belonging to Mechanical Engineering Branch are required to acquire skills in a few more trades like Welding , Blacksmithy, Tinsmithy, Foundry etc.
