Name of the Lab: Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines (KDoM) Lab
Faculty In charge: Dr. Sreenath Balakrishnan
- 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. - List of experiments for the KDOM lab
