R&D Centre

A Research and Development (R&D) Centre is a specialized facility within an organization that focuses on conducting research activities and developing new technologies, products, or processes. The purpose of an R&D Centre is multifaceted and plays a crucial role in the growth, competitiveness, and sustainability of an organization.

Project Laboratory

A project lab is a dedicated space designed to support the successful execution of specific projects within the department. It provides an environment where teams can collaborate, innovate, and address project-specific challenges while optimizing resources and fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

Optical Communication Laboratory

The purpose of the communication laboratory is to provide efficient training in understanding the basic concepts of communication practically. The laboratory is well equipped with the best analog and digital communication trainer kits. The students can have hands-on experience with the test and measurement instruments such as signal generators and analog oscilloscopes. Also, the students are well exposed to use the of analyzing devices like spectrum analyzers and antenna systems. This lab has RF Trainer Kits, Analog Communication Trainer Kits, and Digital Communication Trainer Kits.

Electronics/Microprocessor Laboratory

This lab has several Microprocessor and Microcontroller kits to perform various experiments on applications of Timer, Traffic light systems, serial and parallel communication systems, Printer interfaces, Keyboard and display interfaces, ADC and DAC interfaces, and stepper & DC motor interfaces. It contains all necessary components to complete the construction of the kit, including an LED display, keyboard, resistors, capacitors, crystal, and miscellaneous hardware including preprogrammed ROMs containing a system monitor for general software utilities and system diagnostics.

Networks/Embedded Laboratory

The heart of Embedded Systems is the Microcontroller, RTOS, and FPGA boards. The advanced lab of the department has the necessary platforms to build an embedded system. The students can build and play with Advanced Microcontrollers, Real-Time Embedded Systems, Advanced Embedded System Design, and Systems on a Chip. The students should able to write programs in ARM for specific applications & write the program to interface keyboard.
