Surveying Laboratory
Surveying is the technique, profession, and science of accurately
determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional position of points and the distances and angles
between them, commonly practiced by surveyors,
and members of various engineering professions. These points are usually on the surface of the
Earth, and they are often used to establish land maps and boundaries for ownership, locations like
building corners or the surface location
of subsurface features, or other purposes required by government or civil law, such as property
sales. Surveying is one of the basic area in civil engineering which includes linear and angular
measurements of relative positions
of the points on the surface of the earth. Students learn techniques for gathering field data with
both traditional and modern instruments and demonstrate their proficiency on weekly lab exercises
and a comprehensive semester project
and final exam. List of equipments

Engineering geology Laboratory
Engineering geology is the application of the geological
sciences to engineering study for the purpose of assuring that the geological factors regarding the
location, design, construction, operation
and maintenance of engineering works are recognized and accounted for. Engineering provide
geological and geotechnical recommendations, analysis, and design associated with human development
and various types of structures. The
realm of the engineering geologist is essentially in the area of earth-structure interactions, or
investigation of how the earth or earth processes impact human made structures and human activities.
The practice of engineering
geology is also very closely related to the practice of geological engineering. If there is a
difference in the content of the disciplines, it mainly lies in the training or experience of the
practitioner.List of Laboratory Equipment's
