Computer labs
The faculty provides facilities for the general computing needs of all students enrolled in engineering courses.
The general computer rooms are supported by departmental-based facilities catering for postgraduates, research purposes and, in some departments, even for undergraduates from Part II and above.
The computing facilities enable students to access the internet, email and the online library resources along with a range of printing, photocopying and scanning options.
All students can access the internet for free by logging into computers using their usernames and passwords. The workstations dual boot into either a Windows or Linux environment.
