Abstract

ABSTRACT
Fluid power research works in the graduate level are growing in various educational
institutions. Many of these institutions do not follow the proper methodological
approach in building fluid power research lab. The fact is the fluid-power related
research equipment are ordered as required piece-by-piece without long term
planning, which may results in duplication of equipment and inefficient use of
budgets and space.
Fluid power research lab should at least satisfy some fundamental needs for a
researcher. In this seminar, the presenter will discuss the standard layout of fluid
power research lab, the units must be included and the research roadmap that
matches the proposed units.
