“Creating New Paradigms”,The Ador Lab of Excellence in Welding At Zeal College Of Engineering and Research

CONCEPTION OF THE PROGRAMME

Welding is a very vast Engineering subject which covers the creation of a simple fabrication structure like gate, from underwater welding to spacecraft components and the practice of welding is basic to building infrastructure in the country. It has different levels of complexities depending on whether it is used in power plants, railway coaches, aircraft or spacecraft. This offers an opportunity for the engineers, and the welders, not only to learn about the welding skills, but also learn about the process of welding, and how it can be managed and improved, and new fabrication practices for complex materials.

OBJECTIVE:

To promote welding among students through a well equipped lab to keep them up-to-date and alive-in order to seek new frontiers of best welding skills, this will make our students thirsty for more knowledge beyond the realms of our classroom teaching.
