LECTURE
HALL
The Department has an air conditioned lecture hall measuring 20'X 40.
This is used for all lectures and seminars. Full use of audio-visual
aids is made during routine lectures.
COMPUTER AND INTERFACING LABORATORY
This air conditioned laboratory can accommodate 10 groups of students at any one time. M.Sc. final and previous classes are divided into groups who take turns to perform prescribed experiments in the laboratory.
All students reading for the M.Sc. Applied Physics degree are required to undergo several computer related courses. These include Microprocessors and Assembly Language, System Hardware and Interfacing, Numerical Analysis and High Level Languages etc. The Computers and Interfacing Laboratory is equipped with IBM compatible 8086 and 80386 machines which are used to teach packages like ORCAD , SMARTWORK and EASY PCB. Students also study simulation of electronic circuits using PSPICE, ELECTRONIC WORKBENCH, ACIRAN etc.
In the final semester students are required to design and construct a 3 credit hours project which is usually built around a microprocessor or interfaced with 8086 machines. Several students however, may at times opt for a project in the field of Solid State Electronics.
ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION LABORATORY
This laboratory is also fully air-conditioned. It can accommodate 12 groups of students at any one time. All students perform the same practical at the same time. In this way a complete course of electronic circuit evaluations can be built up. This has been made possible by using the concept of an electronic test bench where all measuring, and test equipment is available at every bench.
The Experimental Electronics courses are designed to take the students from a level of circuit theory and basic electronic circuits based on discrete components to digital electronics and integrated circuits. This is a very comprehensive course and is designed to augment the theoretical courses. During the fourth semester all the students are required to construct a single board computer and use it for data acquisition, data communication and for control applications.
