Industrial visits generate an excitement among students as they get a chance to learn something outside the confines of their university walls.
An industrial visit to RWF gives first-hand experience related to manufacturing processes and technologies. Since fourth semester students presently studying course like Theory of metal cutting, materials science and metallurgy and advanced materials. Keeping these objectives, the school of Mechanical Engineering organizes excursion industrial visits which are within the framework of the curriculum.
By this industrial visit, students gained the practical knowledge about the manufacturing processes like casting and Forging operations and also different Non-destructive testing methods. Students got the knowledge about Automation and work transport mechanisms.
