  • Power Electronics Lab
  • Control System Lab
  • Engineering Practices Lab
  • Measurements & Instrumentation Lab
Availabilities of Labs & Student Project Lab with technical support:

The available Labs as per AU curriculum are supported by experienced Diploma holder technical staffs designated as Lab instructors. Out of the three staffs, one is an Engineering graduate in EEE and is pursuing M. Tech in Power Electronics and Drives under AU regulations. The departments and Labs in the institute work at times beyond the five working days for the benefit of the students.

The space for Project Lab is available in the vicinity of the existing EEE Labs. The department is gearing up to develop this Lab in the next semester.

It is also planned to use the Project Lab as Electrical- Electronic workshop for repairs and maintenance of meters, modules and instruments.
