The Department has well-furnished specialised laboratories with the latest amenities for needs of students belonging to diversified programmes.
Upcoming Specialized Laboratory
The Department possesses multi-GPU based systems having wide range of Graphics Processing Units (GPU Cards) supported from NVIDIA (like GeForce, Tesla, K20C, K40C, etc.) for R&D activities. NVIDIA Setup (consisting of V100 and G100 machines) is used for machine learning and deep learning based applications belonging to the domain of computational science, bioinformatics, multimedia systems and large database systems.
The Department has a rich set of equipment for building and testing communication networks. It lab includes Cisco 1800 series routers, layer 2 and layer 3 switches, wireless access points, and necessary cables and connectors. The Department also has a variety of programming boards, sensors and actuators for building sophisticated IoT applications. The list of components includes Arduino, ESP8266, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, NVidia Jetson, transceivers like Xbee, HC05 Bluetooth, LoraWAN, and WiFi. Sensors like DHT11, ultrasonic, infrared, MQ135 gas sensor, pressure sensor, thermal sensor, soil moisture sensor, water level sensor, and Actuators like Relay switches, servo and stepper motors, display, LED etc. are also available.
Cyber Security laboratory houses forensic tools, high-end workstations, hardware/software for developing secured network infrastructure. Tools like Oracle Virtual Box, Wireshark, WinRTGen, Cain and Abel, Nessus, Burpsuite, Python, Social Engineering Toolkit, SQLMap, John – the – Ripper, Hydra, Zenmap, Wifite, Autopsy, NMAP etc. are used by the students. Students also explore open source tools for cyber security.
Students of the Department are active in extracurricular activities like participating in Hackathons, working in Idea lab based projects, other R&D activities. The Department has established a Do It Yourself Laboratory for such dynamic students bearing the potential to implement their innovative ideas. These lab houses NVIDIA sponsored AI/DL embedded lab, HCI hardware for human computer interaction and equipment for Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). The HCI lab is set up to promote the research in building predictive systems using sensory signals and sensorimotor data with a focus to build intelligent solutions for various problems found in the areas of Mental health and Education. The lab has an Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality Kits, Eye tracker, Emotiv EPOC+ and various sensors/wearable devices for performing research experiments in the said domain of mental health, education, consumer research, medical science and neuroscience.
A well established “Hardware Museum” has a collection of historic digital and computational artifacts of different generations. The lab includes including processors, motherboards, monitors, keyboards, CPUs, printers, scanners, mouse, connecting cables, and storage discs, etc. The museum showcases the journey of hardware related technologies.
