Control and Instrumentation Lab 2

The Control and Instrumentation Laboratory - II is a part of control and instrumentation research group under the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering (EEE) at Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati.The laboratory is mainly used for instructional laboratory courses and is well equipped with sufficient number of electronic test benches each consisting of Digital Storage Oscilloscope, Arbitrary Function Generator, Digital Multimeter, Desktop computer, etc. used in design and implementation of automation, control and instrumentation circuits.This laboratory is also used for research work in the areas of automation, control and instrumentation.

In the year of 2014, first undergraduate and postgraduate instructional laboratory course was started in this laboratory. The course are as follows-

EE371: Control and Instrumentation Laboratory –for B. Tech. programme in Electronics and Communication Engineering(ECE), B. Tech. in Electronics and Electrical Engineering(EEE).
EE558: Applied Control Lab – for M. Tech. programme in Power and Control.

In the year of 2018, the following new laboratory courses were introduced for undergraduate and post-graduate students-

EE253: Instrumentation Lab – for B. Tech. programme in ECE and EEE.
EE351: Control and Robotics Lab – for B. Tech. programme in ECE and EEE.
EE552: Applied Control Lab – for M. Tech. programme in systems, Control and Automation.
EE555: Automation Lab – for M. Tech. programme in Systems, Control and Automation.
