Ours is the only college in south Tamilnadu having Distributed Control system (DCS) in the process control lab. The students are given training in the Yokogawa Blue Star CS1000 DCS to make them suitable for modern Industries. Also the lab is equipped with a state of art Siemens Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to give industrial exposure to the students. A complete set up involving various kinds of control valves with positioners is also available.

Process Control Lab

Currently the department is setting up an analytical and biomedical Instrumentation lab. A computerized Spectrophotometer available in the department is being used for analysis of samples to carry out projects and research experiments. Also the department has a separate computer centre to encourage the students to work in software like MATLAB, VB, VC++ and to carry out PC based instrumentation projects. There is a Library with valuable reference books and handbooks in the department premises. The students are allowed to refer these books.
