1. Design and Fabrication of a Hydraulic Jack • Designed and constructed a functional hydraulic jack as a final-year project. • Applied principles of fluid mechanics and mechanical design to demonstrate load lifting and pressure transmission. 2. Centrifugal Pump Performance Analysis • Conducted experimental tests on pump efficiency under varying loads. • Analyzed performance curves and recommended improvements for industrial applications. 3. Preventive Maintenance Study on Industrial Machinery • Carried out maintenance scheduling and documentation for selected machines in the workshop. • Identified common faults and proposed strategies to reduce downtime. 4. Fabrication of a Mini Heat Exchanger • Designed and built a small-scale heat exchanger to study heat transfer efficiency. • Tested temperature gradients and flow rates to evaluate thermal performance. 5. Workshop Practical Training • Gained hands-on experience in welding, fitting, machining, and equipment assembly. • Completed routine repairs and fabrication tasks under supervision. 6. Safety and Risk Assessment Project • Conducted a workplace safety audit of the engineering workshop. • Recommended improvements in equipment handling, chemical storage, and PPE use.
