Lab Visit to the Mechanical Engineering Department, DTU
14th November 2025
Department of Mechanical Engineering, Dronacharya Group of Institutions (DGI), Greater Noida, organized an educational laboratory visit to the Mechanical Engineering Department of Delhi Technological University (DTU) on 14thNovember 2025 for second-year Mechanical Engineering students. The visit was planned with the objective of providing students with practical exposure to state-of-the-art laboratories, modern engineering equipment, and ongoing research initiatives at one of India’s leading technical universities.
The visit was supervised by Dr. Saket Kumar, Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering Department, DGI, and coordinated by faculty members at DTU. Upon arrival, students were received by research scholars who briefly introduced the laboratories and guided them through various sections of the department. During the tour, students observed four-stroke and two-stroke IC engine test rigs, engine performance analysis systems, refrigeration and air-conditioning test setups, and a wind tunnel facility. These demonstrations helped students understand concepts such as brake power measurement, thermal efficiency calculations, and energy transfer mechanisms in thermal systems. Students also gained insights into the mechanical behaviour of materials, design considerations, and the role of material selection in engineering applications. Exposure to DTU’s student projects and simulation-based workflows showcased how computational tools accelerate modern product development cycles.
Interactive sessions were conducted with DTU faculty members and research scholars, who explained ongoing research projects in areas such as renewable energy systems, robotics and automation, advanced materials, and automotive engineering. These interactions broadened the students’ understanding of emerging interdisciplinary domains and encouraged them to explore innovative research ideas.
Overall, the lab visit to the Mechanical Engineering Department at DTU was highly informative and enriching. It successfully achieved its objective of enhancing students’ technical knowledge, fostering curiosity, and motivating them toward research, innovation, and professional growth. The students returned with valuable insights into modern engineering practices and a deeper appreciation for hands-on learning in mechanical engineering.
