IOB PAY ." It matters little how much equipment we use;
It matters much that we be masters of all we do use "
The Mechanical Engineering laboratory is well-equipped with modern machinery and tools, designed to provide hands-on experience and deepen students' understanding of core mechanical engineering concepts. Under the guidance of qualified technical support staff, students have access to various equipment that helps them gain practical knowledge in areas such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials testing, and manufacturing processes. The laboratory's facilities include state-of-the-art machines like CNC machines, testing rigs, dynamometers, heat exchangers, and 3D printers, all of which allow students to experiment and observe the principles they learn in theory. Through these practical sessions, students gain a comprehensive understanding of mechanical systems, design, analysis, and optimization.
