sample of water, Corrosion measurement in different mediums and metals, Coal
Analysis, Measurement of viscosity etc.
are explained to and performed by the
target-students (Electrical Engineering and Civil Engineering).
Physics Laboratory of the department is
designed in a way to include experiments of various areas of physics such as
various measuring instruments, properties of materials, basic
electric circuit and optics etc. The laboratory is
equipped with good number of instruments. Virtual lab and simulation based
experiments have also been introduced. Lab on smart phone is encouraging for simulation based experiments. The main purpose of this laboratory is to
give knowledge and experience to students for developing experimental skills
and exposing them to modern techniques.
Language lab of the department is both spacious
and well equipped with 16 computers, an Over Head Projector, a printer, headphones,
language-learning software, web-resources, and charts on various topics of
English language, communication, and soft skills. Students can have access to
