A machine tool is a machine for shaping or machining metal or other rigid materials according to the design provided, usually by cutting, boring, grinding, shearing, or other forms of deformation. The Machine Tool lab provides the students with a chance to study and operate different machine tools like lathe and drilling machine. The students are trained to manufacture a product on the basis of a design provided that covers operations like centering, turning, thread cutting, etc. Advanced Machine Tool Lab, which is a continuation of the Machine Tool lab, is equipped with machines like shaper and slotter. The students are also given the chance for hands on experience in part programming in Computer Numerical Control machines

Fluid mechanics is one of the core sections in the Mechanical Engineering field dealing with the fluid properties, type of flow and the equations governing the behaviour of fluid. The students are given exposure to the various theory portions covered in the syllabus by the experiments arranged in the Lab. This well-equipped lab is suitable for conducting various experiments related to the basics of fluid mechanics, fluid flow and flow measurement. Students are given the best opportunity to clearly understand the concepts they were taught in Fluid Mechanics theory.
The Hydraulic Machines Lab provides the students an ample opportunity to familiarise with both pumps and turbines. The lab is equipped with various pumps that come across in our day to day life such as centrifugal pump, reciprocating pump, gear pump and so on… The lab is also equipped with commonly used turbines in power generation like Pelton Wheel, Kaplan and Francis Turbines. In short, Hydraulic Machines Lab helps the students to understand the working of pumps and turbines in detail.
ADDITIONAL FACILITIES/PROJECT LAB
To inculcate the spirit of enquiry among the learners and thereby pave the way for innovative learning a Project lab has been established in the department. The main objective of the Project lab is to help the students to do innovative projects and research works. The laboratory is well equipped with equipment to fulfil the requirements of students’ project’s needs. Technical staff is available in the laboratory for supporting the students.
