DESIGN PRACTICE- I & II

Mechanical Engineering being the broadest and most diverse of all engineering domains aims at transforming ideas into products. During the course, the design of machine components, nano to giga is particularly a crucial job that demands careful attention from the domain experts.
The Design lab in the department of Mechanical Engineering at IIE aims at providing a platform for the students to implement the previously assimilated concepts in understanding the practical aspects of design related experiments. Design drawings allow viewers to visualize a machine or its components before it is manufactured. In the current industrial trend CAD modelling is an imperative skill expected from all Mechanical engineers
