LAB FACILITIES
This Department has established well equipped and modern Physics, Chemistry & Language labs to upgrade basic technological skills of the first year students. The fundamental laboratories in the department are:
The Engineering Physics Laboratory
The Engineering Physics Laboratory is one of the major laboratories of the department. It enables the budding engineers to practically understand the fundamentals of the theory through a vast range of experiments. Experiments are conducted in the laboratory with the aim of making the budding engineers effectively use mathematical, scientific, and modern engineering tools in the practice of their professions. The lab is equipped with the latest equipment like laser units, facilities for measuring various properties of semiconductors like band gap, carrier density, and resistivity etc. Further, facilities are available for measuring optical fibre parameters like numerical aperture, attenuation etc. In the lab we also offer holographic studies. The basic focus in the Engineering Physics Laboratory is to develop scientific temper and encourage students to innovate in diverse technical areas for better understanding of technical and engineering problems. We believe that after conducting experiments under the able guidance of the faculty members, the students will have a sound theoretical and practical knowledge and they will be able to demonstrate the ability to identify, formulate and solve real-world technical problems.
The Engineering Chemistry Laboratory
The Engineering Chemistry Laboratory has been designed to provide students with a basic understanding of the chemistry that may be required by engineers in the course of their careers. The Laboratory provides a broad range of Engineering Chemistry support services to the scientific and engineering programs at the institution and services of specialized analysis for government, academic, and industrial organizations. The Laboratory provides extensive facilities for thermodynamics, electrochemistry, polymers, corrosion, fuel combustion, water treatment and testing of environmental pollution--with emphasis on topics of interest in engineering. The laboratory is equipped with Spectrometers, Conductivity meters, Colorimeters, pH meters, BOD Incubator, Flame photometers etc. to familiarise students with a variety of methods used to study matter from the molecular perspective. Various experiments cover the analysis of water (acidity, residual chlorine, hardness, BOD, COD measurements); spectroscopic studies of molecules; synthesis of organic polymers and chromatographic studies etc. In addition, further equipments and chemicals are available for the analysis of polluted water samples. The basic aim of the experiments conducted in the Laboratory is to train the students as both scientists and engineers in order to enhance their problem solving abilities and mould them into successful professionals and responsible citizens.
Digital Language Lab (DLL)
The Digital Language Laboratory which is situated in the newly built post graduate block of the institute is our latest addition to the Department of Applied Sciences. It has been found that engineering students are proficient in their technical subjects but some of them are found wanting in the area of communication skills. So aiming to improve the proficiency of students in communication skills, the Digital Language Laboratory has been established. In today's global scenario there is need to bring in innovations to train the students for improving their communication. The DLL Software is a pioneering, yet innovative solution that seamlessly integrates cutting-edge technology with internationally proven foreign language teaching and mastering methods to offer a fully computerized, modular and easy-to-use facility. We have replaced the traditional sound recording system in the language lab with this software. In Digital language laboratory we use software named Xclass which has a combination of pronunciation practice, video presentations, audio discussions and exercises. All this helps to create a genuinely interactive teaching and learning environment and thus language teaching and self directed language learning are done quite easily. In the Digital Language Laboratory the students learn all the nuances of English language effortlessly. So with improved communication skills, students have a better chance to get good packages and tackle the tough situations that they might face in their professional and personal lives Thus in the DLL the process of transformation of budding engineers into hard working professionals and responsible citizens begins.
