Laboratories Resources and Support:
All the labs are equipped with P-IV Intel based personal computers, Laser Printers and Video Projectors as teaching aids. The PC’s in most of the labs are connected to the network with access to Internet as well. A coordinator (Faculty member) is assigned for each lab. The role of the coordinator is to work with the course instructor in assessing new equipment requirements for the lab. The lab development committee will collect the requirements for labs from coordinators and do the necessary budgeting and submit it to the department chairman for further processing. The lab development committee meets periodically to assess the new lab equipment requirements and follow up on the acquisition process through the University Purchasing Department. The equipments in the labs are periodically checked for working conditions and the necessary maintenance is done by lab staff where as required. There are two lab staff to carry out the necessary installation, maintenance of the lab equipments. The department is in process to add one to two more lab staff members in the face of increasing work load and increasing student population during recent years.
