Laboratories and other Facilities

Faculty of ICT

Faculty of Information and Communication Technology has required Hardware and Software l aboratories for both experimental training and theory in the curricula prescribed by the faculty in the disciplines of Electronic Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology.

Hardware Laboratories

Electronic Engineering Laboratory is trifurcated to three sub labs as mentioned under:

1. Electronic Engineering Laboratories

     i) Digital Electronics Laboratory (Digital Systems & Digital Logic Design)

     ii) Analog Electronics Laboratory (Electronic Devices & Electronic Circuit Design)

     iii) Basic Electronics Laboratory (Electronic Workshop, Basic Electrical Engineering)

The above Laboratories are fully equipped with latest equipment for the training of Engineering, Technology and Science at all levels of relevant practical work.

2.Telecommunication Engineering Laboratories Telecommunication Engineering Laboratories                                                                                     

 i) Communication Systems Laboratory This laboratory is equipped with sophisticated equipment open to all students of various disciplines, especially  related with Communication Systems for training and conduct of practical.

ii) Microprocessor Laboratory This lab is for senior students who complete their course requirements in Digital Logic Design, Digital Systems, and Computer Structure. The Microprocessor System & Assembly Language and Microprocessor Inter facing Techniques are the essential part of computer. Knowledge of Hard ware of Microprocessor controlled by software for engineers working in relevant field and also for software developers is essential.

iii) VLSI Design Laboratory (VLSI Design Techniques) This Lab deals with training of Very Large Scale Integration Design Techniques. These techniques are used in designing IC's and Chips. Verilog HDL is a Hardware Description Language (HDL) which is used to describe a digital system. Verilog supports all sensitive hardware description language in which hardware development could be checked. Its syntax is similar to C-language. Verilog supports FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), The final year students of Computer Engineering & Electronic Engineering are benefited from this laboratory.

iv) Fiber-Optics Laboratory This lab contains equipment and simulators for Data Transmission & Reception. This laboratory is utilized by senior students of Electronic Engineering & Tele-communication Engineering Department.

Hardware & Software Laboratories
