CURRICULUM ADOPTION CERTIFICATEDepartment of Mechatronics Engineering: "Since its inception in 2005, all the passed-out batches are accredited by Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC)."
The educational aim of the undergraduate program in the Department of Mechatronics Engineering is to develop a diversified multi-technological approach by integrating Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electronics, and Control Engineering. Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of precision mechanical engineering, electronic control systems in the design of products and manufacturing processes. To meet the quality and productivity demands, industries are compelled to use sophisticated electromechanical systems. Mechatronics engineering caters the national needs of industries in the field of Robotics, Automated Manufacturing Equipment, Intelligent Systems, Automobiles, Security Systems, Treatment Plants and Medical Equipment.
Modelling and Simulation is an integral part of Mechatronics design approach. This lab offers computer facilities that can be used by students for developing model of real systems and testing of these systems by simulation. The laboratory has latest computers to support the courses like Computer Programming, Computer Aided Design (CAD), Numerical Methods, Modelling and Simulation and Artificial Intelligence.
Automation plays a key role in modern production industries. Industrial Robots, CNC machines and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are important constituents of modern manufacturing systems. This lab addresses the need of Mechatronics engineers. Here students get hands on experience on PLCs, Industrial Robots and CNC machines. The lab equipment includes SCARA Robot, Gryphon Robot, CNC machines, PLC and Pneumatic Trainer.
This lab enables students to test their Mechanics concepts. Mechanics is very important for motion controlled systems like Robots and CNC machines. By performing experiments on equipment offered in the lab, students can test their project for static and dynamic constraints. The lab equipment includes Basic Roof Truss, Creep Test Apparatus, Torsion Shaft Apparatus, Screw Jack, Derrick Crane Force and Moment Kit, Worm and Worm Wheel Apparatus, Stepped Shaft Apparatus and Friction on Inclined Plane Apparatus. This lab also includes Hooke's Law Apparatus, Simple Moment Apparatus, Shear Apparatus, Universal Testing Machine, Impact Testing Machine, Hardness Testing Machine, Creep Testing Machine, Torsion Shaft Apparatus and Beam Reaction Apparatus. The lab is well equipped for conducting experiments of Mechanics of Material subject..
Instrumentation and Control Engineering is a crucial area of Mechatronics Engineering. Sensors availability is not that common in Pakistan and students generally struggle to buy many types of sensors. This lab is equipped with interactive sensor kits which help in developing concepts related to general working of control systems. Also, servomechanisms can be used to verify control system concepts. The lab covers courses like Instrumentation and Measurements, Control Systems and Advanced Control Systems. The lab is equipped with Sensor Transducer Kits, Magnetic Levitation system, Servo Mechanism, Bridges, and Actuators.
This lab enables students to fabricate different jobs used in their projects. Fabrication, drilling, furnishing, welding, grinding and other operations can be done here. The lab also provides an idea about conventional machining to press, weld solder different materials. All hand tools required for the practical work in Smithy Shop, Fitting Shop, Electrical Shop and Carpentry Shop are available in the workshop. The laboratory covers the scope of courses like Workshop Practice and Machine Tools and Manufacturing Processes. Students use this facility in fabricating their projects.
This lab offers equipment and facilities that can be used for student projects. This lab provides conducive environment for students working on their Final Year Projects. The lab is equipped with Computers, Oscilloscopes, Power Supplies, Function Generators, PIC Training Kits, 8051 Training Kits, Digital Multi-meters, Soldering Stations, Bread Boards, Motors, Various ICs and Work benches which provide the students solid platform to construct their projects.
Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics is the basis of Mechatronics Engineering. The purpose of this lab is to provide the students the necessary analytical skills to solve and analyze a variety of Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Fluid Power related problems including Hydraulic and Pneumatic systems.
By attending the practical sessions and conducting experiments in this lab, the students will learn and understand principles of Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics with applications including Hydraulic and Pneumatic systems. Topics include: fluid properties, flow types, conservation of energy, flow through pipes, standard symbols, components and control of hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
Heat Transfer analysis is necessary for almost all industries starting from product development to plant operations. The Lab equipment cover diverse concepts ranging from basic Conduction and Convection to Emissivity measurement, Heat Exchangers and Solar Systems. Lab sessions are designed in a way to give students hands on experience on solving real world Heat Transfer problems.
