The Department of Industrial Engineering includes several laboratories aimed at enhancing theoretical knowledge through practical experience in various fields of industrial engineering.
This laboratory focuses on sample preparation and characterization. The sample preparation process involves several stages, including cutting, mounting, grinding, polishing, etching, and microstructure examination. The lab is also equipped with various material testing machines, such as a universal testing machine, different hardness testing machines, a fatigue testing machine, an impact testing machine, and a torsion testing machine. Material testing is essential for evaluating the quality, durability, performance, and suitability of materials for specific applications.
This Laboratory focuses on the basic manufacturing process like joining process and deforming process. Students get hands on experience in Arc welding, Spot welding, sheet metal forming, Fitting etc. The objective is to make the product with high accuracy within short time with less production cost
This laboratory gives students relevant exposure to important machining process that are in use in industry. It gives hands on experience in the use of Lathes, drilling machine, milling machines and shapers. Also It aims at enhancement of practical skills as well as development of awareness about machine upkeep, safety practices etc
The goal of this laboratory is to impart knowledge to the Industrial engineering students about the CAD/CAM course topics and acquaint them with its practical applications. This lab imparts comprehensive understanding in Computer-aided design, Geometric modeling, Part programming in CNC machining etc. Students gain practical experience by designing geometric models and machining workpieces using CNC lathe and milling machines.
The purpose of this laboratory is to provide Industrial engineering students with hands-on experience and knowledge in the fundamentals of automating manufacturing processes, pneumatic and hydraulic circuits, sensors and actuators, process controllers, and automated production systems controlled by PLC.
The CIM lab focuses on teaching students how to use CIM software and hardware in the real world. This can be accomplished by conducting tests in the FMS lab, using the CNC machines, the Industrial Robot, and by programming and operating these devices.
The Motion and Time Study Lab is dedicated to conducting experiments aimed at helping students acquire essential skills for comprehending and applying the core principles of motion and time analysis. These skills empower individuals to achieve tasks in the most efficient manner, minimizing the required effort. Apply the principles of method engineering. This efficiency extends to workplace design, the selection of tools and equipment, and the pursuit of an optimal work environment for the workers. The following are the equipment and instruments included in the Motion and Time Study Lab.
The Human Factors and Ergonomics lab at PSAU is concerned with the application of physical and cognitive characteristics to the design of devices and systems for humans. Human Factors and Ergonomics is the discipline of designing products and systems to match the abilities of people in order to improve productivity, safety, performance, and user satisfaction. In the lab we aim to achieve excellence in teaching and research in the field of human factors engineering by applying both quantitative and qualitative methods to collect and analyze behavioral, physiological and human performance data through a diverse of equipment designed to serve that purpose. Our goals are (1) to educate students of principles of human factors engineering to understand how to improve products and systems and (2) to conduct research and projects that benefit the person-product/system interface and the field of HF/Ergonomics.
The Industrial Engineering Lab provides the necessary tools for students to explore and practice what they have learned in their courses from general statistical analysis software to specific techniques (e.g., modeling, simulation, coding). The laboratory is intended for instructors to hold their tutorials and labs where computers are required for practice and illustration. In addition, the laboratory serves the undergraduate and postgraduate students performing assigned activities or laboratory sessions, projects or research in the many areas.
