With
the establishment of new campus at Chak Shahzad, Islamabad we were able to expand
the number of our labs to nine. These new labs are an added addition to our intellectual
armament. Moreover, with a whole building block at our disposal, we are better able
to design an environment particularly suited to technological learning. Each of
these labs has the capacity of about 40 to 50 students per lab. Lab sections of
total of about 28 Computer Engineering courses and 26 Telecom Engineering courses
per week are being held in these labs. Apart from specific lab equipment in each
of the labs, students also have the printing facility as well a reference book shelf
comprising of project summaries and reports of projects done in previous semesters.
All labs are also equipped with latest audio/video teaching aids.

Digital
Design Lab

The importance of microprocessor (MP) lies in its permission to greater flexibility.
More over it can be linked with sensors, measuring and switching devices and execute
any industrial process. For any computer, the main unit is called the CPU and microprocessor
is the integral part of this brain. The control unit, Arithmetic logic unit and
registers are what microprocessor is based upon. This single chip defines the type
and the characteristics of the computer. The EE-department’s Digital Design Lab
caters the needs of both
MP & Interfacing and Digital Logic Design related courses.
It is equipped with the entire range of necessary
latest state-of-the-art lab equipment ranging from PC based Micro Processor Interfacing
stations, Microprocessor Trainers, Micro Controller Kits, Micro Processor Programmers,
IC Burners, Digital logic Trainers and all types of tools and accessories like Digital
Multi Meters and a variety of Digital / Analog components, consumables, Engineering
software, a CD database, set of technical books and manuals.

Electronics
Lab

The revolution in telecommunication and other industries is mainly due to the evolution
of electronics. Electronics is a comprehensive technology that encompasses novel
nanophysics, creates state-of-the-art devices and systems through sophisticated
control of matter. Electronics deals with devices and systems that use electrically
energy efficient means to analyze transmit and store information. Transmission of
these electronic signals forms the basis of communications and the information technology
industry, and includes the fields of microelectronics and the use of silicon chip
technology. Keeping in mind the importance of Electronics the EE Electronics
Lab is equipped with the entire necessary lab equipment like Double Trace / Triple
Trace Oscilloscopes, Function Generators, Frequency Counters, DVMs, PCB Screen Printing
capabilities, PCB Film Exposing Labs, PCB Drilling stations, all types of tools,
accessories and a variety of Digital / Analogue. Components, consumables, and Anti glare
illuminated workbenches.

Students
in the final year of BS program are heavily involved with projects in engineering
design and application, both computationally and in the laboratory. At first, each
student is carefully guided in the application of what he or she has learned, but
eventually each will do one or more projects that require independent judgment and
provide a capstone experience. These students perform substantive work and practical,
hands-on engineering experience. To meet up this demand, the project lab is equipped
with latest equipment such as Signal Generators, Network Analyzers, TV Trainer,
Spectrum Analyzer, Digital Oscilloscopes, various FPGA (Field Programmable Gated
Arrays) kits and DSP Kits. Also to integrate these devices with different latest
softwares, students in the project labs are provided with PCs along with printing
and internet facility. Project lab also houses a collection of project summaries
and reports of projects done in previous semesters. |

Control

Feedback
control systems are one of the most diverse systems which are defining and changing
the face of the modem technology. Like other modem evolving technologies, it requires
hands on training to understand the underlying mathematical theories that they have
learnt in the class room. This understanding along with hands on training can help
the students to properly install, operate and modify the control systems in an industrial
environment. All process industries, steel plants and textile factories employ control
systems in the form of automated machinery. To operate and tune this equipment one
needs proper understanding of control theory and that cannot be achieved without
hands on training. To meet the demands of the different lab courses we have a wide
variety of DC Servo Trainers, PLC Trainers, PLC Modules and self-made Auto/Manual
Relay Modules. |

Microwaves
play a much greater part in our day to day life than most people actually realize
and can even imagine. It may be a long distance call via cell phone or PSTN, favorite
television show, live cricket matches, fire control, security and remote surveillance,
weather forecasting, exploration of earth to find natural resources, remote navigation,
ships, aircrafts, air traffic control, military radars, missile systems and list
goes on, microwaves are involved in one way or the other. Recently Microwaves has
gained new prominence in the field of Communications. Wireless Local Loop Systems
for voice and data transmission using microwaves have been developed and have started
replacing the enormous network system of telephone lines and poles. Therefore, keeping
the importance of this field in mind, a number of courses has been included in the
curricula of BSTE program. But understanding of Microwaves requires deep insight
into mathematical theories behind its working along with extensive exposure to hands
on training. This Lab provides an opportunity for the students to enhance their
understanding of Microwaves through extensive practical works. Other than that of
supporting the regular Lab courses for "Microwave Engineering" and "Antennas and
Radio Wave Propagation", the Lab also provides support for student’s final year
research projects in the areas like "Wireless Communication Systems" and "Microwave
and Satellite Communication Systems" and "Radars and Navigation Aids". |

One out of
our four-year our Engineering program consists of the core of basic physical sciences.
This core provides our graduates with the basis of theory, design, and analysis
that will enable them to adapt to whatever may come along during their careers.
To meet the practical experimentation demands of these courses, the Electrical Engineering department’s Physics lab is therefore equipped with Oscilloscopes, Function Generators,
Electronic Trainers, Meld’s Operators and other instrumentation capable of supporting
a wide variety of experiments.

Three state-of-the-art
Computer labs equipped with internet, network and printing facilities cater for
the need of those courses which require software implementation or analysis of their
concepts. Each of these labs has 50 work stations. Apart from the scheduled labs,
students are given open-lab hours in which they are able to use the internet facilities
and are able to access various EE
journals and other resources to further enhance
their knowledge. |
