A mechanical engineering undergraduate and graduate always tend to skip learning about Machine Shop. However, this subject is as crucial as Thermodynamics, Strength of Material, Fluid Mechanics, and other important subjects.
The purpose of this course is to take a novice, a person with no machine shop or workshop experience, and within the duration of this course teach them about various machine tools, such as lathe machines, Shaper, planers, slotters, drilling machines, and milling machines, in a concise way.
Now let's have a quick grasp of what a MACHINE SHOP (Workshop) is -
A machine shop is a room, building, or company where machining, a form of subtractive manufacturing, is done. In a machine shop, machinists use machine tools and cutting tools to make parts, usually of metal or plastic (but sometimes of other materials such as glass or wood).
A machine shop can be a small business (such as a job shop having a single or multiple machinery) or a portion of a factory, whether a toolroom or a production area for manufacturing.
Each shop has its own tools and machinery which differ from other shops in quantity, capability and focus of expertise.
