Laboratories
Laboratory education is an important part of the
engineering curricula. The Department of Civil Engineering
is having well established laboratories catering the needs
of B.Tech. programme. Laboratory courses are designed to
support theoretical concepts taught. All the laboratories
are equipped well. Project works, dissertation works and
thesis works are supported by the laboratories. The
following are the main laboratories in the department.

ENIVERONMENTAL ENGINEERING LAB
-
The objective of this laboratory is to determine the
qualities of water and waste water. The experiments
include the determination of pH, turbidity,
conductivity, and impurities in water and BOD, DO and
COD of waste water and pollution level of water.
-
The highlight of this laboratory is the
spectrophotometer.
-
This laboratory course will help the students to
understand the theoretical concepts learned in the
course environmental engineering and decide whether the
water body is polluted or not with reference to the
state parameters and estimation of the strength of the
sewage in terms of BOD and COD
- We can do this lab in the semester IV-I
GIS & CAD LAB
