These machines are essential for shaping, cutting, and finishing metal parts with precision. By working in the Machine Shop, students gain practical experience in operations like shaft turning, bush making, and machining of propeller shafts and other ship components. This hands-on training not only improves their technical accuracy but also prepares them for real-world applications in shipyards and marine workshops, where precision machining is critical for shipbuilding and maintenance.
Welding Shop
The Welding Shop is an essential laboratory for students of Shipbuilding Engineering, as welding is one of the most important processes in ship construction and repair. In this workshop, students are trained in different welding techniques including arc welding, gas welding, MIG/TIG welding, and advanced methods such as plasma cutting and oxy-acetylene cutting. The lab is equipped with modern welding sets and cutting tools that allow students to practice joining metal plates, fabricating ship structures, and cutting steel plates with precision. By working in the Welding Shop, students gain the ability to create strong and durable weld joints, which are crucial for ship hull fabrication, deck construction, and other structural work. This hands-on experience builds the confidence and technical expertise required to work in shipyards and marine industries where welding is a daily necessity.
Foundry & Forging Shop
The Foundry & Forging Shop is a crucial laboratory for Diploma in Shipbuilding Engineering students, as it introduces them to the techniques of metal casting and forging, which are widely used in ship construction. In this lab, students learn how to melt and shape metals using furnaces, crucibles, molding boxes, anvils, hammers, and blowers. Through practical exercises, they gain experience in casting small ship components such as propeller models and forging simple metal parts required in ship structures and machinery. The lab emphasizes precision, control of material properties, and safety practices while working with molten metals and heavy tools. By mastering the skills taught in the Foundry & Forging Shop, students develop a strong foundation in manufacturing processes essential for producing durable and high-quality ship components.
Ship Construction Lab
The Ship Construction Lab is a key facility in the Diploma in Shipbuilding Engineering program, where students gain practical knowledge about the structural components of ships. In this lab, students work with models of hulls, bulkheads, decks, and other structural parts to understand the design and assembly of a ship’s framework. The lab is equipped with plate bending machines, riveting tools, and other fabrication equipment that allow students to practice forming, joining, and assembling metal plates and structural elements. Through hands-on exercises, students learn important ship construction techniques, including alignment, joining, and proper sequencing of ship components. This training not only reinforces theoretical knowledge from the classroom but also prepares students for real-world shipyard work, where understanding ship structure and fabrication methods is essential for building safe and durable vessels.
Naval Architecture & Hydrostatics Lab
The Naval Architecture & Hydrostatics Lab provides students with hands-on experience in studying the stability, buoyancy, and resistance of ships. In this lab, students use stability test tanks, inclining experiment kits, and small model setups to simulate real-life scenarios of ship floating and movement in water. They learn how to calculate draft, displacement, metacentric height, and analyze ship stability under different loading conditions. This practical exposure helps students understand complex naval architecture concepts and prepares them for designing and evaluating ships that are safe, stable, and efficient in marine environments.
