The experimental systems includes a cooling tower for learning thermodynamics and heat and mass transfer, a dynamic signal analyzer for learning mechanical system vibrations, a tensile testing machine and a creep testing system for learning strength and mechanics of materials, and a Scorbot robotic manipulator with conveyor belt, rotary table and vision recognition system for leraning robotics and contol systems. It provides a location for the students to design and fabricate projects. It is provisioned with tools and instruments for mechanical, electrical and electronics work. The department maintains one wind tunnel for research and education in the area of aerodynamics. The laboratory is used in courses pertaining to design and manufacturing.
