The Department of Mechanical Engineering is the biggest department of the university and spans over four buildings: New Mechanical, Old Mechanical (Main Block), University Workshops, and Design Center.The department is ranked 301-350 in QS world rankinghttps://www.topuniversities.com/universities/university-engineering-technology-uet-lahore

New Mechanical

New Mechanical building was completed in 2005 and handed over in 2006 to the department. This building has the main office of the department, in addition to various Classrooms, Laboratories, Faculty Offices Seminar Hall, Conference Room, Library, and Semester Cell. The building also hosts the offices of Industrial and External Linkages and Student Societies of the department.

Old Mechanical

Old Mechanical, situated in Historic Main Block of the university, was the original building of the department when it was established in Maclagen College in 1923. The building has several classrooms and faculty offices, in addition to historic lab of Thermodynamics. The building also has the newly established lab of Energy Resources.

University Workshops

The University Workshops were established in 1937 and are designed to provide know-how with hands-on practical training in workshop technology to engineering students. A package practical course, titled “Workshop Practice” is offered to all first-year undergraduate students of the engineering disciplines. The course has been skillfully planned to impart practical training supported by relevant theoretical knowledge in the field of fabrication and production. As an outcome, the students are enabled to acquire ample expertise by going through practical assignments in handling tools and plants. The students are also assigned small projects to accomplish their tasks efficiently and successfully. The course offered inculcates self-confidence in the students, for their success in future careers.

Following shops are available in the workshops:

  1. Machine Shop
  2. Fitting Shop
  3. Carpentry Shop
  4. Electric Shop
  5. Welding Shop

Design Center

The Design Center has been established with the aim of providing state-of-the-art facilities to the students for designing, prototyping, and developing projects.

Currently the Design Center has the following facilities:

  1. Flexible Manufacturing Systems Shop
  2. Heat Treatment Shop
  3. Welding Shop
  4. Machine Shop-I
  5. Machine Shop-II
