As you have seen that Engineering Drawing is a common lab for all Engineering students, similarly Engineering Workshop is also the common theory/lab for all the branches of Engineering.
It is also called Engineering Workshop Practices (EWP) or Workshop Manufacturing Practices (WMP) depending upon the subject format(syllabus).
I this article, whatever the syllabus of EWP/WMP was made by the Academics Dept., the same was presented here in a detailed way.
All the concepts w.r.t. various units are presented below in the form of links. Just click them to navigate through.
The concepts which come under fitting workshop are presented in a single article whose link was placed below.

Now Lets know the Questions and Answers from Engineering Workshop.
The Very Short Answer Questions are listed under the last 3 units. The First 3 units will be updated soon…
The Very Short answer Questions and Answers are as follows.
Plastics are also called as Polymers. They are made up of carbon, hydrogen and sometimes oxygen, chlorine, nitrogen, fluorine, sulfur, phosphorus or silicon. Majority of the times, polymers are made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen only.
The glass cutting tools which are used to cut the glass are as follows.
Laser cutting machines are equipped with computer-controlled programming that helps to do the work more efficiently and easily.The laser beam is used to cut different materials like metal, wood, rubber, glass, plastics. By this, a high degree of accuracy is maintained.
The VSAQ and Answers were presented below.
It is a process in which the liquid molten metal is poured into the casting cavity whose shape is same as that of the shape of the casting to be produced, allowing to solidify, and after solidification, the casting will be taken out by breaking the mould called as Casting process.
Welding is a process of joining two or more similar or dissimilar metals with or without the application of heat, with or without the application of pressure, with or without the application of filler material.
Punching Operation: When the force is applied by using the punch on to the sheet, the cutting or shearing action will be taking place in the sheet producing a piece/blank leaving a hole in the sheet called as Punching Operation.
Blanking Operation: When the force is applied by using the punch on to the sheet, the cutting or shearing action will be taking place in the sheet producing a piece/blank called as Blanking Operation.
It is the replica of the casting to be produced. Replica means, the shape of the pattern remains the same as that of the shape of the casting to be produced.
The different types of patterns are as follows.
Brazing : It is a process of joining similar or dissimilar metals by means of filler material. The filler material is called as Spelter and the filler material is made up of Copper alloy.
Spelter+Borax+Water = Paste
A mixture of Spelter and Borax with Water is used as a paste and is applied to the metal parts at the joints.
Soldering: It is a process of joining similar or dissimilar metals by means of filler material. The filler material is called as Solder and the filler material is made up of Lead-Tin alloy.
It is used to produce hollow components in casting process.
Pattern allowances are given to the pattern to compensate metal shrinkages, to provide sufficient metal for machining and to facilitate proper moulding process.
Types of allowances are as follows:
The VSAQ and Answers were presented below.
It is a process in which a piece of raw material is cut into a desired shape and size by means of sharp cutting tools called a Machining Process.
Conventional Machining Process:
UnConventional Machining Process:
Additive Manufacturing is a process in which the model of an object has to be created in any Modelling Software(CAD Software) and has to save in the format of.STL.
[.STL stands for Standard Triangular Language]
This format essentially “slices” the object into ultra-thin layers. Each successive layer bonds to the preceding layer of partially melted or melted material.This file has to be sent to Additive Manufacturing machine or 3D Printing Machine to produce a 3D object in the form of fine layers.
A cutting tool is used to remove the material from the surface of the workpiece. It must be harder than the workpiece to carry out the operation.
Grinding is the conventional finish machining operation used for producing a good surface finish on the components.
CNC machines are used for various machining operations like punching, shearing, laser cutting, flame or plasma cutting, forming, welding and many other applications.
