Engineering Workshop

The Engineering Workshop is a fundamental laboratory facility that provides students with
hands-on training in basic manufacturing, fabrication, fitting, and maintenance practices.
It serves as the foundation for developing practical engineering skills and helps students
understand workshop technology, safety procedures, and industrial work culture.

The workshop enables students from various engineering disciplines to gain experience in
the use of tools, machines, and equipment commonly employed in engineering industries.
Through practical exercises and projects, students develop technical competence,
problem-solving abilities, and confidence in handling engineering tasks.

Objectives
