The Department of Basic Science and Humanities boasts an array of advanced facilities that provide students with a hands-on, experiential learning environment. These include:
Physics Laboratory:
The Physics Laboratory of University of Engineering and Management, Kolkata consists of two units, a General laboratory and an Optics laboratory. The laboratory has 12 different experimental set ups. There are several set ups of each experiment for the benefit of the students. The Optics laboratory is basically a very well designed dark room to carry out optics experiments. The students apply and verify their theoretical understanding of optics, mechanics, electromagnetism, electronics, quantum physics, statistical physics and solid state physics by performing various experiments. The students are also encouraged to design various innovative devices which involve application of their theoretical understanding and practical experience gained through this Physics course.
Chemistry Laboratory:
Chemistry Laboratory is a place where students can gain valuable hands-on experiences on the materials, exposure to reactions, experiments and equipments that they have learned in theory class. Hands-on laboratory experiences are very crucial for the development of basic problem-solving ability and critical-thinking based skills. Constant guiding students in hands-on laboratory experiments empower students to prepare themself for high-technology careers by fostering skills sought by potential employers. Students are involved to examine water quality, viscosity coefficient and surface tension of various samples, analyze different acid-base and redox samples applying laboratory apparatus and instruments. These are very important activities for gaining applied knowledge in chemistry and improving skills of science.
Basic Electrical Laboratory: Facilitating foundational understanding of electrical engineering concepts.
The Basic Electrical Engineering laboratory is utilized for performing experiments related to fundamentals of Electrical Engineering, which common to all first year undergraduate B.Tech students of the university. This laboratory is located in B2 LG 4.1, B2 LG 3.3, and B3 LG 4.2 and consists of 22 fully equipped setup benches to carry out numerous fundamental experiments in Electrical Engineering. The experiments are designed to expose students to the practical executions of the fundamental theories of Electrical Engineering. This Lab covers all the basic devices that serve as the most basic building block of almost all electrical devices. This Lab lays a firm foundation of what is to be learned throughout the engineering curriculum.
Basic Electronics Laboratory: Introducing students to the fundamentals of electronic systems.
This is a first level laboratory in which students from various disciplines are introduced with fundamentals of Electronics Engineering for the first time and are trained with preliminary of electronic components and devices. This laboratory deals with basic electronic devices and their characteristics and applications. The students are introduced with these devices so that they are capable of designing various electronic circuits for real life applications. This laboratory is furnished with basic electronic components such as diodes, transistors, FETs, OP-AMP as well as equipment such as advanced digital multimeters, function generators, CROs, DSOs.
Language Laboratory: Enhancing communication and soft skills through interactive and immersive tools.
Programming for Problem Solving Laboratory: Providing hands-on experience in coding and algorithmic thinking.
MATLAB Laboratory: Offering computational tools for advanced mathematical modelling and analysis.
Mechanical Workshops: Enabling practical exposure to engineering mechanics and design.
The workshop/Manufacturing Practices lab is a place where students get their imaginations into a reality. In this particular lab, students get the chance to do hands-on practice which is referred to as a manufacturing process. This practice really helps a student to develop thinking about choosing a proper material based on the applications. Also helps to relate the drawing to make any particular item, and accordingly measure with the help of various measuring instruments. In this laboratory safety and precautions is very important, by which students get the knowledge about the usage of various cutting tools as well as handling the machines.
These facilities are continuously upgraded to stay abreast of technological advancements, fostering an environment of curiosity, creativity, and collaboration. Together, they ensure that our students not only grasp the theoretical underpinnings but also acquire the practical expertise required to excel in their chosen fields.
