Department of Mechanical Engineering

Laboratory Utilization

The Computer-Aided Engineering Drawing (CAED) and Machine Drawing laboratories in the Mechanical Engineering department are cutting-edge facilities where students engage with advanced software like SOLID Edge and ANSYS to design, simulate, and analyze intricate mechanical components and systems. These labs provide a comprehensive learning environment, enabling students to create detailed 2D and 3D models, develop precise machine drawings, and perform finite element analysis for structural and thermal simulations. With the inclusion of assembly modeling, students gain practical experience in simulating the interaction of mechanical components, fostering a deep understanding of design principles, technical drafting, and engineering applications, essential for excelling in modern manufacturing and engineering design.
