The chemistry lab is housed in Mechanical Engineering Department for doing experiments on Fuels and Lubricants. Only the Mechanical Engineering stream of B.Tech I/IV has this lab.
Future Plans:
i) We intend to start a Science and Humanities Association, which can arrange lectures, Mathematical Quiz etc. It is proposed to have an Open-Day / Exhibition in the college premises during the next academic year. ii) An English lab is also planned for improving written and oral communication skills of students.
The department is planning to take two photo conductive cells and two solar cells for physics lab for demonstration purposes to make the students understand the theoretical background of each. |
