Central Workshop
Academic Facilities , Campus Facilities , Campus Buildings
The Central Workshop (CWS) was established in 1959 as part of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. It was established with the support of the Federal Republic of Germany, to train B.Tech. students in various shop floor techniques and fabrication. Prof. Lechner was associated with the Central Workshop when it was started. The CWS received the ISO 9001:2000 quality certification from RWTUV, Germany in 2001. Over the years, the CWS introduced modern facilities such as gear and machine shops, which better suited the training in line with current industrial requirements. The workshop includes facilities such as auto shop, instrument shop, tool room, gear inspection, FRP and plastic laboratories, communication laboratories, techniques such as welding, carpentry and fitting, and machines such as numerically controlled (NC) machines and pneumatic & hydraulic trainers. In the Souvenir Volume of 1962, Superintending Engineer Mr. Y. S. Ramaswamy writes: “This was one of the first constructions taken up when the Institute was started in the campus and the work on this workshop building was completed in June, 1961 and is in occupation since then. The workshop provides for 7 distinct halls for each of the various sections, namely, carpentry, foundry and smithy, fitting shop, machine shop, electrical shop, welding shop and production engineering. Each of the halls is 150´ x 50´ and has a R.C.C. shell roof construction.”
