Labs And Facilities

Faculty of Engineering Sciences has a large number of teachings and Research Laboratories including Mechanics, Electricity & Magnetism, Circuit Analysis, Logic Design, Computer Architecture, Micro Processor/Micro Controller Interfacing, Engineering Instrumentation, Simulation, Semiconductor devices, Lasers & Optics, and Photonics. They will be suitable for industry that is involved not only in production but also in research and development both within the country and abroad. Already, within the country a number of organizations are pursuing R & D work and production in the emerging field of technologies. At present the manpower for such organizations in these fields is either trained abroad or the assistance of foreign consultants is sought. The graduates of this faculty will be well-equipped to fill this gap in national expertise and can look forward to highly rewarding careers.
