Lab Facilities
 


The science and engineering education at East West University emphasizes the on hands-on-experiences obtained through lab work . The labs also play a central role in supporting faculty and student research. For these reasons, the university is committed to developing and maintaining state-of-the-art labs for  students and  faculty members of the Faculty of Sciences and Engineering. The University  developed one of the best lab facilities in the country for computer science and engineering, information and communication engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, electronics and telecommunication engineering and for its pharmacy programs. The engineering labs are shared by the three engineering departments, namely, the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) department, the Applied physics and Communication Engineering (APCE) , and the Electronics and Communications Engineering (ECE), and the Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) department. The pharmacy labs are used by  students and faculty members of the Pharmacy department as well by engineering students taking  chemistry courses . The following is a description of the labs within the faculty of sciences and engineering. Each lab contains sufficient  equipment to  allow  students to conduct experiments in small groups.

 

Electrical Circuits and Machines Lab: This lab has the  state-of-the-art Lab-Volt electro-mechanical training systems that allow experiments on DC machines, transformers, induction motors, and synchronous machines. This laboratory also has inductor, capacitor, and resistor banks, single and three phase variable AC power sources, DC power supplies, oscilloscopes, signal generators and various types of measuring instruments used to conduct experiments on electrical circuits. In addition, the electrical circuits and machines laboratory houses modern high frequency signal generators, high frequency digital storage oscilloscopes, true RMS (AC+DC) volt and current meters, and a LCR meter with computer interface that facilitates research work.

 

Electronics Lab: Work related to electronics and power electronics courses are performed in this lab. It is equipped with modern digital storage oscilloscopes, analog and digital trainer boards, signal generators, DC power supplies and all types of IC chips, transistors and other semiconductor devices.

 

VLSI Lab: Design and simulation type lab works are performed in the VLSI lab. The VLSI laboratory has more than 40 state-of-the-art dual core workstations and 2 servers running on both MS Windows and Linux platforms. A wide range of engineering and design software tools, including Matlab, PSpice, ADS, and Cadence design package are available in this lab. Cadence and ADS are advanced industry standard EDA tools used in design and research worldwide.

 

Digital Systems Lab: The Digital Systems lab is housed with equipment ranging from digital storage oscilloscopes, digital trainer boards, micro-controllers, interfacing adapters, data acquisition cards and other supporting peripherals. The lab also provides hardware devices for FPGA design. Projects related to digital logic design, computer interfaces and embedded systems are done in this lab.

 

Telecommunication lab: The primary purpose of the Telecommunication lab is  to offer hands-on experience to students for training and research by providing scope for  practical demonstrations and exercises for courses offered in  the communication area. TIMS equipment set constitutes an important part of this lab. This equipment set consists of TIMS-301 basic system, PC based virtual instruments, TIMS-Interactices for simulation, and Emona TIMS advanced modules. The lab also contains microwave trainers, DSP trainers, cellular mobile trainers, analog communication trainers, digital communication trainers and optical fiber communication trainers. The university is in the process of procuring additional equipment for experiments in RF, antenna and microwave, and telecommunication switching and signaling.

 

Computer Communications and Networking Lab: This lab has recently been established. The lab is equipped with one high performance server, twenty work stations, switches, routers, networking kits, radio equipment for short distance indoor and outdoor wireless networks, point-point XDSL/VDSL/HDSL and other supporting instruments.

 

Physics Lab: The Physics Laboratory is housed with modern instruments for everyday physics experiments. The dark room facility helps students to conduct optical experiments.

 

Pharmacy Labs: The university has six labs for  the students and faculty members of the Pharmacy department. In addition to supporting the lab requirements of pharmacy courses, these labs also provide necessary infrastructures for research activities. They are equipped with instruments like Tablet dissolution apparatus, Tablet disintegration tester, High resolution centrifuge, Gel electrophoresis apparatus, Refractometer, Polarimeter, Karl Fisher water determination apparatus, Rotary evaporator, Freeze drier, Carbon dioxide incubator, Single punch tablet machine, Capsule filling machine, UV-Visible spectrophotometer, Thermocycler for PCR, ELISA, High resolution microscope, Fundamental chromatographic instruments, and other supporting equipments.
