Surveying Lab
Surveying Laboratory Description
The Surveying Laboratory in the Civil Engineering Department is a dedicated space equipped with state-of-the-art tools and instruments to support surveying-related academic activities and fieldwork. It facilitates practical learning for students through hands-on experience in land measurement, mapping, and data processing. Key features include:
Equipment:
Modern surveying tools such as Total Stations, Automatic Levels, Theodolites, Levels, Compass, etc., for high-precision measurements.
Supporting accessories like leveling staffs, ranging rods, plumb bobs, and metallic tapes for diverse surveying tasks.
Purpose:
Used for teaching surveying concepts and techniques through courses and student projects.
Enables data collection, analysis, and mapping for real-world applications.
This laboratory plays a crucial role in preparing students for professional surveying challenges by combining theoretical knowledge with practical skills.
CAD Lab and BICT Lab
The Civil Engineering department typically includes two important laboratories for students: a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) lab and a Basic Information & Communication Technology (ICT) lab. in Lab. No 310, on the Second Floor Main Building of the Institute.
CAD Lab
The CAD lab is equipped with state-of-the-art computers and software packages designed for engineering applications. It typically includes:
- Workstations with high-performance hardware
- 2D and 3D CAD software such as AutoCAD
This lab allows students to gain hands-on experience in translating abstract ideas into detailed digital models and drawings.
Basic ICT Lab
The Basic ICT lab focuses on fundamental computing and information technology skills essential for modern civil engineers. It typically features:
- Computers with standard office software suites
- Internet access for research and online resources
- Facilities for learning about Projects and presentation preparations
This lab helps students develop crucial digital literacy skills, learn about engineering informatics, and understand how to leverage technology in civil engineering projects.
Both labs play a vital role in preparing civil engineering students for the increasingly digital and technology-driven aspects of their future profession.
Hydraulics Lab
It is necessary for civil, environmental and transportation engineers to understand the behavior of fluid flow in different conditions in pipes, channels, canals, notches, weirs etc. In the field these conditions are very common and diploma pass-outs have to solve problems related to water seepage and discharge. The basic knowledge about hydraulics and fluid mechanics will be useful in subjects like Irrigation, Water Resources Management and Public Health Engineering. In this course, basics of hydraulics and its application oriented content has been kept with a focus that students should be able to solve practical problems. Competencies developed by this course would therefore be useful for students while performing his/her job in the field of Water resources / Irrigation/PHE and Environment Engineering.
