-Engineering workshops are an integral part of every technical Institute. All engineering graduates of all streams are supposed to go through engineering workshops in their first year of study. The workshops required to focus on the issues pertaining the management of wastes generated while the students are learning (working) and to develop consensus that waste management is a problem. Workshop waste material is a key factor when assessing the sustainability of a manufacturing process. The cost of the raw material assigned to the institutional workshops is very high because of its high utilization by all the engineering graduates, so it is very important to manage the raw material as well as the finished product of every shop to convert into useful household product. This paper attempts to suggest the finished product of one shop to be utilized as a raw material for another shop in order to reduce the running cost of engineering workshops and the objective of this paper is to promote the awareness to the engineering graduates towards the reuse of the used material of the generated mechanical wastes in the institutions.
