DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

AUTOMOBILE LAB

The newly developed automobile Laboratory in the Department of

Mechanical Engineering is located at Mechanical Workshop Building. The

main objective of this lab is to make the student understand about various

components of petrol engine and diesel engine by dismantling and assembling

parts like carburetor, alternator, water pump etc. Students also gain

knowledge about transmission, suspension, steering and braking systems.

This lab also has multi-cylinder diesel and petrol engines.

This facility develops interest in the automobile field and making the

students associate with Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and Imperial

Society of Innovative Engineers (ISIE). Students take part in competitions like

SAE SUPRA, SAE BAJA, ISIE ESVC, etc. Go kart vehicle, made by our students

in Technical Symposiums like Pitstop and Mindkraft is worth mentioning. This

provides a platform for students to apply their knowledge in real time

applications.

This lab helps the students in the following ways.

• Design and fabricate models meeting the standards.

• Prepare and present a cost report of the model with proper optimization

of materials used.

• Economically mark the Unique Selling Point of their model with an

analytic business report.

• Correct unexpected failures while testing the vehicle which strengthens

their resolve in the field of automotive engineering.
