Automobile Engineering/Internal Combustion Engine 

Welcome to the Automobile Engineering/Internal Combustion Engine Laboratory !

Our Automobile and I.C. Engine Laboratory is a specialized facility designed to provide hands-on exposure to the working principles, construction, testing, and performance evaluation of various internal combustion engines and automotive systems. This lab bridges classroom theory with practical understanding of power generation, fuel systems, and emission control in modern vehicles.

Students gain experience in engine dismantling, assembly, testing, and analysis skills that are essential for automotive engineers, service professionals, and researchers.
