It also helps to create the ability to understand and effectively communicate engineering and related concepts, nurture entrepreneurship and leadership qualities to enhance their roles in providing service to the society.

Objectives

  • To provide all supportive co-curricular training required by students to enhance their curricular performance and keep them updated with recent trends in industry.
  • To work towards bridging the distance between the textbook taught and the practical application in industry.
  • To groom and nurture the qualities of teamwork, leadership, mutual understanding and co-existence and to provide exposure to public and executive communication.
  • The best way team can work towards a common goal is by knowing and understanding each other.
  • The Civil Engineering Association firmly believing in this adage stepped out to welcome the freshmen into the department.

LABORATORY DETAILS CIVIL ENGINEERING

Civil Engineering involves planning, designing, constructing, maintaining and supervising infrastructures which includes facilities essential to modern life like highways, bridges and tunnels, schools, hospitals, airports and other buildings, sewage systems and water treatment facilities. The department has the following well equipped laboratories which provide practical instruction to undergraduate students and facilities for post-graduate training, research work and consultancy work.

STRENGTH OF MATERIALS LABORATORY

The main objective of strength of materials laboratory is to determine the forces, stresses, deflections and behaviour of various structural members like beams, columns, arches, trusses and frames when subjected to different types of loadings. Equipment consists of impact strength, tensile strength, compressive strength, rockwell and brinell hardness test, etc.. This will enhance the complete knowledge of the materials in a practical way.

FLUID MECHANICS AND HYDRAULIC MACHINERY

The main objective of this laboratory is to achieve the parameters related to fluid flow in pipelines and in open channels. This laboratory is well equipped to carry out experiments like determination of metacentric height of a floating vessel, verification of the Bernoulli’s energy equation, study of transition from laminar to turbulent flow, determination of velocity profile for pipeline flow, determination of coefficient of discharge for obstruction flow meter (venturimeter/orifice meter), determination of discharge coefficient for various notches, determination of hydraulic coefficients for flow through an orifice, determination of friction coefficient for pipes of various diameters and calculation of minor head losses in pipes.

SURVEYING LABORATORY

The objective of surveying laboratory is to make student familiar and competent enough to draw map in suitable scale by using different surveying instruments like total station, theodolite, auto level, global positioning system (GPS), geographical information system (GIS), electromagnetic distance measurement (EDM), plane table, compass, etc. Students learn to survey from conventional as well as contemporary methods and technology. Our Surveying labs provide students with hands-on experience using common surveying equipment.

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY

Geotechnical engineering laboratory helps in identifying the engineering behavior of soil. Our Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory is well-equipped with equipments for evaluating all engineering properties of soils including index properties, compaction characteristics, consolidation characteristics and shear strength of soils.

ENGINEERING GEOLOGY

Engineering geology is the application of the geological sciences to engineering study which helps in identifying the different types of rocks and minerals present in nature. The megascopic study of different types of rocks, minerals and understanding their behavior are the major objectives of geology. Further, development of cracks, fissures in rocks, geological map interpretation, folds, faults are their learnt in this lab with their causes and remedies.

CONCRETE TECHNOLOGY LABORATORY

Concrete technology lab is used to carry out several tests on construction materials such as cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, etc. This laboratory allows the students to test and to assess the various engineering properties in terms of strength, workability, durability, stiffness, etc.. The major equipments such as compression testing machine, tensile testing machine, slump cone, compaction factor test and so on. This laboratory will guide the students to gain the knowledge about the materials used for the construction practices.

TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING LABORATORY

Transportation lab is being well equipped with sophisticated equipments to evaluate the strength of the materials such as bitumen and aggregates with the help of impact testing machine, los angles abrasion testing machine, shape tests, etc.. Apart from these some more additional equipments are used to test the bituminous materials such as viscosity, ductility and plasticity by using penetrometer, ring and ball test apparatus, etc..This helps our students to gain the practical knowledge about the materials used for roadways, railways and so on.

CAD LABORATORY

CAD lab is well equipped with sufficient number of systems with licensed softwares such as AUTO CAD, STADD PRO V8i, and REVIT. Students get professional training on 2D & 3D drafting of civil engineering drawings using the latest version of Autocad software. Student will learn computer aided design layout and 3D solid modeling definition. Students will also gain the knowledge of design and drafting needed for civil engineering discipline.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY

Environmental engineering lab comprises of modern and technically advanced instruments needed for water and wastewater analyses. This laboratory contains modern analytical instruments and facilities to carry out simple to sophisticated experiments i.e. Physico-chemical and Biological parameters testing for water and wastewater. The Laboratory has sophisticated equipments to analyze pollution parameters in water and waste water, soil and air by using instruments such as spectrophotometer, pH meter, turbidity meter, muffle furnace, BOD incubator, conductivity meter, etc.
