Engineering projects involve creative problem solving, not hypothesis testing. Each engineering design, software application or device project should have a clear engineering goal.

Biomedical project lab, is  provided with resources to learn and design projects on the latest technology. This laboratory consists of sixteen dedicated computer systems with faster internet access facility for providing the students with greater opportunities to hone their talents and knowledge- skills, helping them to remain updated on emerging trends and technologies. Project work taken up by students will earn them academic credits during their engineering course.

Students’ project design can be implemented by utilizing the niche technologies available in lab. To make lab work exciting, licensed softwares like MATLAB, LABVIEW and many open source softwares are made available in the centre. Electronic equipments like    digital storage oscilloscope(DSO),function generator, programmable function generators,multiple power supplies, and digital multimeters,soldering stations and many more are provided. Students are also provided with a COMPONENT BANK with active and passive electronic components, microprocessors, arduino boards, PIC embedded boards, actuators , transformers and motors to make their design and concept a reality .Other additional tools in our lab are Analog and digital IC tester, Photo contact printer, Universal programmer which supports a variety of models of 51 series of microcontroller, AVR microcontroller, 54/74 series IC function tests, PCB driller and LCR meters
