Strength of Materials Laboratory: is well equipped with destructive testing machineries. This lab course is offered in the second year for the students from various departments in the school of Civil Engineering. Students will be able to understand the theoretical concepts of solid mechanics course and enable them to apply it practically in this laboratory.

Surveying and Levelling Laboratory


Objectives

At the end of the course the student will possess knowledge about survey field techniques

Outcomes

On completion of the course, the student is expected to

  • CO1 Impart knowledge on the usage of basic surveying instruments like chain/tape, compass and levelling instruments
  • CO2 Able to use levelling instrument for surveying operations
  • CO3 Able to use theodolite for various surveying operations
  • CO4 Able to carry out necessary surveys for social infrastructures
  • CO5 Able to prepare planimetric maps
  • Soil Mechanics Laboratory


    Objectives

    To develop skills to test the soils for their index and engineering properties and to characterise the soil based on their properties.

    Outcomes

    Students are able to conduct tests to determine both the index and engineering properties of soils and to characterize the soil based on their properties This Laboratory is designed to obtain the basic knowledge about the soil under loading and unloading conditions occurred during the construction of structure at site. This laboratory helps the students to understand the basic and engineering properties of soils such as Specific gravity, Atterberg’s limit, Compaction, Consolidation, Permeability and Shear strength of soils.

    Highway Engineering Laboratory


    Objectives

    To learn the principles and procedures of testing of materials used in the construction of highways.

    Outcomes

  • CO4 Evaluate the Consistency and Properties of Bitumen.
  • CO5 Determine the Bitumen Content in the Bituminous Mixes.
  • Computer Aided Drafting of Buildings Laboratory


    Objectives

    To introduce the students to draft the plan, elevation and sectional views of buildings in accordance with development and control rules satisfying orientation and functional requirements as per National Building Code.

    Outcomes

    The students will be able to draft the plan, elevation and sectional views of the buildings, industrial structures, and framed buildings using computer softwares. AutoCAD is a 2-D and 3-D computer-aided drafting software application used in architecture, construction, and manufacturing to assist in the preparation of blueprints and other engineering plans. Students can draw up plans for residential and commercial buildings and also draw up plans for use in the design and building of roadways, bridges, sewer systems, and other major projects.

    Water and Waste Water Analysis Laboratory


    Objectives

    This subject includes the list of experiments to be conducted for characterization of water and municipal sewage. At the end of the course, the student is expected to be aware of the procedure for quantifying quality parameters for water and sewage.

    Outcomes

    On completion of the course, the student is expected to

  • CO1 Calibrate and standardize the equipment
  • CO2 Collect proper sample for analysis
  • CO3 To know the sample preservation methods
  • CO4 To perform field oriented testing of water, wastewater

  • Fluid Mechanics & Hydraulic Machinery Laboratory


    Objectives

    Students should be able to verify the principles studied in theory by performing the experiments in lab.

    Outcomes

  • The students will be able to measure flow in pipes and determine frictional losses.
  • The students will be able to develop characteristics of pumps and turbines.
  • It is an introductory course where flow behaviour, fluid forces and analysis tools are introduced. The goals of the experiments include demonstration of the continuity and energy equations. The lab experiments utilize U-tube manometer data acquisition where students will learn the working principle and laws guiding the fluid in the manometer. The other important part of the lab is learning about hydraulic machines where students will practically see the importance of hydraulic machinery. The lab runs closely with the lectures in such a way that experiments support the text covered in the class room.
