Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines (KDoM) Lab

Name of the Lab: Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines (KDoM) Lab

1. Brief description (4-5 sentences)
   KDoM lab: The objective of this laboratory is to supplement the theoretical concepts discussed in the classroom with practical knowledge. The primary focus is to give hands-on training to make different mechanisms using inexpensive daily-use materials. Additionally, we employ a few instruments to reinforce the fundamentals taught in class.
