The Mechanical Engineering department provides access to several specialized laboratories designed to offer practical, hands-on experience across various engineering disciplines:

BASIC WORKSHOP LABORATORY:  A centralized facility offering hands-on training in fundamental manufacturing processes such as welding, sheet metal work, foundry, carpentry, plumbing, and fitting, familiarizing students with basic tools and equipment.

MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY LABORATORY: Equipped with various machineries, this lab provides students with practical knowledge and hands-on experience related to modern industrial manufacturing processes.

THERMAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY: Focused on combustion theory and IC engines, this lab uses various components, cut-section models, and experimental setups (varying fuel types, cylinder counts, and loading) to analyse engine performance.

HEAT TRANSFER LABORATORY: Facilitates the understanding of the three modes of heat transfer—conduction, convection, and radiation. The lab includes equipment like plate-type and double-pipe heat exchangers and condensation apparatus.

CAD/CAM LABORATORY: A central facility with high-end hardware and software for 2D and 3D drafting, modelling, analysis, and simulation. It provides a digitally integrated environment for designing, analysing, and building components.

METROLOGY LABORATORY: This lab focuses on units, standards, and measurement methods. It is equipped with digital instruments (e.g., Vernier callipers, micrometres, profile projectors) for hands-on learning of linear, angular, and form measurements to achieve precise tolerances.

KINEMATICS AND DYNAMICS LABORATORY: Focused on the mechanism and dynamic analysis of mechanical systems, featuring equipment such as governors, gyroscopes, dynamic balancing machines, cam analysers, and torque indicators.

CNC LABORATORY: Provides training in recent manufacturing technologies using XLTURN and XLMILL Machines with FANUC integrated software, where students learn programming and manufacturing processes through CEP programs.

MECHATRONICS LABORATORY:  A centralized facility that integrates electronic control, hydraulic, and pneumatic components with PLCs, providing knowledge about programming for industrial automation.

MACHINE DRAWING LABORATORY: A digitally integrated environment allowing students and faculty to work with 2D and 3D drafting and modelling packages to design, analyse, and draft components.

To provide Industrial exposure to students, Industrial visits are arranged by the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Students are able to learn how the topics they study are applied in industries. The industrial visits also help the students in their placement opportunities.

Students of Mechanical engineering, who always has the hunger to learn came up with a massive idea of setting up “Robotics and Automation Laboratory”. This lab incorporates advanced technologies like IoT controlled equipments, Microprocessor controlled equipments, 3D printer and many more. A large group of students under the supervision of Faculty of Mechanical engineering were involved in the design and development of lab. The lab focusses on training students with basic automation to advanced automation with recent technologies. The lab is also supported with backup power generated using Solar energy. Our final year students Mr. Arunakanth and his team members done this project successfully. This lab is very useful to the upcoming budding Engineers.
