Civil Engineering Laboratories 

  : Objective

Laboratory plays an extremely important role in civil engineering education. The undergraduate courses are supplemented with an extensive laboratory work in order to furnish the student with a sufficient experimental experience in various fields of civil engineering through the use of the most modern techniques of measurements, instrumentations and analysis.

.The department has a number of laboratories in the fields of Civil Engineering

:These include

Plane Surveying Laboratory-

Materials Laboratory-

Fluid Mechanics Laboratory-

Concrete Laboratory-

Soil Mechanics Laboratory-
