Undergraduate Labs

The laboratory is equipped with CNC Mill, T-6 CNC Lathe, 3D printers, abrasive waterjet cutter, laser cutters, drill press and a thermoforming centre. Students get an all hands-on interaction with machines and tools. Experiments involving Metrology, CNC Plasma Cutting System, Surface Grinding, Manual Lathe Machining and CNC Machining and G-Code Programming are conducted and students acquire knowledge of engineering processes and tools through direct exposure to these machines and processes in the lab.

The laboratory is well equipped with equipment including and not limited to Basic heat pump demonstrator, Vapour pressure of water, Principle pelton Turbine, Basic Condensing unit, Commercial air conditioner board, Nozzle pressure distribution, Motor drive and display, Dynamometer assembly, Heat Pump, Steam Power Plant with Steam Engine and Rankine Cycler.

Lab sessions for Thermal Environment Engineering are conducted in this laboratory where students develop and conduct experiments related to HVAC systems. Lab sessions on Air Conditioning (Heating and Humidification Processes, Cooling and Dehumidification Processes), Heat Transmission and Heating Load, Cooling Load and Duct Design are conducted as well. During the Combustion & Engines labs, students get well versed with Combustion fundamentals, Experiments involving Comparative Study of Heating Value for Diesel and Gasoline, Four-stroke gasoline engine, Two-stroke gasoline engine, Four-stroke diesel engine and Engine emissions are conducted. Students also get to use various engineering tools and softwares for the analysis in the group project and lab experiments.

This laboratory provides hands-on and experiential learning opportunities for students and supports many engineering courses such as Communication Systems, Electric Machines and Power Systems.The laboratory is equipped with Lucus Nulle and Labvolt/FESTO interactive learning systems. This laboratory provides hands-on learning opportunities where students can experiment with a wide variety of equipment to learn about practical engineering aspects associated with real-world systems. The laboratory equipment consists of the following but not limited to:

• LN  transformers, induction, synchronous, asynchronous, and DC machines.
• LN UniTrain experimental boards and instruments for communication systems testing e.g.,  Filters, Modulation techniques (AM and FM), Baseband Transmission and Digital Modulation
• Labvolt/FESTO interchangeable experimental hardware and test instruments for many electric machines and power systems e.g.  Transformers, DC Machines, Three-Phases Asynchronous Machines, Synchronous Machines, Slip-ring Rotor Machines, Single phase AC-DC rectifier, DC-DC Step-down (buck) converter, DC-AC Single phase inverter, Three-phase DC-AC inverter and Resonant converters.

This laboratory has a wide array of hand-held, table top and floor-mounted radiation detection systems such as Giger-Muller, Sodium Iodide, High Purity Germanium, Liquid Scintillation, Radon monitors, X-ray fluorescence Spectroscopy and etc. 

Students also use this lab to learn about thermo-luminescence dosimetry (TLD), environmental sample collection techniques, chain-of-custody and administration of emergency response teams during an emergency release of nuclear material into the environment.

This lab is used to teach the basic principles of Scientific Instrumentation, Reactor Control and Non Destructive Techniques. Students will apply the knowledge they have gained in basic electronic and electrical courses to monitor transducer signals and to control the electro mechanical systems using LabVIEW software.

This lab consists of one of a kind wind modular chamber that is made out of clear acrylic walls for easy visualization of experimental setups and external aerodynamics around structures. This lab is currently used to teach Basic Fluid Dynamics Principles and to learn application of fundamental engineering courses into Integrated Engineering Systems such as HVAC, Wind Turbines, Geo-thermal and Solar. 

This fully automated wind chamber will have the capability of controlling the wind speed to desired velocity in the test section.

This lab houses Neutron Sources that are being stored in a custom built water tank. Neutron Sources can be taken off the shield using remote control mechanism built into the facility to conduct labs for both teaching and research. 

Our undergraduate students use this facility to conduct experiment to understand the principles of Radiation Shielding and Neutron Activation Analysis.

This is a Class II radiation facility constructed with 1 m thick heavy density concrete. This facility houses a Neutron Generator, Gamma Irradiator, X-ray machines and other high activity radiation sources. 

Our students use this facility to study the principles of Radiation Shielding, Neutron Activation Analysis and Radiation Detection and Measurements. Students also learn how to handle high activity radiation sources following the principle of ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) to ensure they get minimum radiation dose.
