Laboratories and Engineers
The Department of Industrial Engineering houses a comprehensive suite of well-equipped laboratories that play a vital role in enhancing students’ practical skills and supporting applied research. These labs offer students hands-on experience across core areas such as instrumentation, materials, manufacturing, and human factors.
In the Instrumentation and Measurement Lab, students are trained to use precision tools like Vernier calipers and micrometers, gaining practical insight into quality control and international standards such as ISO. The Materials Engineering Lab provides exposure to standard mechanical tests—tension, hardness, fatigue, and impact—as well as heat treatment processes used to modify material properties. The Human Factors Engineering Lab focuses on studying the interaction between humans and systems to enhance usability, safety, and overall system performance.
The Manufacturing Lab introduces students to advanced technologies including CNC laser and plasma cutting machines, as well as 3D printers. It supports both academic learning and entrepreneurial projects, with a focus on innovation and rapid prototyping. Engineering Workshops complement this training by giving students essential hands-on skills in machining, metal fabrication, and system assembly.
All laboratories are supervised by experienced engineers and technicians who ensure that students work in a safe, efficient, and technically advanced environment. These labs are integral to the department’s commitment to producing industry-ready graduates capable of bridging theory and practice in real-world settings. They also provide a foundation for capstone design projects and industry collaborations that foster creativity and problem-solving.
