FAISALABAD: In order to equip young agricultural engineers with practical training, state-of-the-art Computer-Added-Design and Computer-Added Machine labs have been set up at the Department of Farm Machinery at the University of Agriculture Faisalabad.

The lab was established under the project titled: “Skill Development in Reverse Engineering.”  Under the project, the university had redeveloped a thresher and a chopper, reducing 300 kilogrammes and 500 kilogrammes off these machines. The machines also save 1.5 liters of fuel per hour and are more efficient.  On the inauguration of the lab, Faculty of Agricultural Engineering Dean Prof Dr Rai Niaz, urged students to come up with innovative ideas by putting their utmost efforts.
