Workshop practice imparts basic knowledge of various tools and their uses in different sections of manufacturing such as Fitting, Tin Smithy, House Wiring, Carpentry etc. It is true that engineers are not going to become carpenters or blacksmiths or skilled workers on the shop floor, but by exposing themselves to all working trades, they get a bird eye view of the basic practical activities associated with all sections of manufacturing. It helps them, when they occupy managerial positions, in understanding the activities and practical difficulties, so that they can take appropriate decisions.
