CH 103 Chemistry Lab 0-0-3-2
Objective:
It is important for our engineers to be exposed to state of the art analytical instruments, which are being used in various industries, production units and high-end laboratories. The current course laid out here is aimed at training the students to understand and perform where the learner gets an in-hand experience of various instruments. The student also learns the principle behind them. The experiments are routinely updated to suit the requirements. The course would enable the student to appreciate how science and technology complement each other.
