	<paragraph>This page provides an overview of the laboratories in the department.</paragraph>
	<paragraph>Postgraduate laboratory is dedicated for graduate studies, while the others are shared by both undergraduate &amp; graduate students.</paragraph>
	<paragraph>Outside the regular lab sessions, the laboratories are allocated for final year project groups. This enhances the resource utilization, and of course the outcome of the <link url="./projects.xml#Undergraduate Projects">projects</link>.</paragraph>
	<paragraph>All laboratories are equipped with PCs, having LAN &amp; Internet connectivity. As a result, it has been possible to use computer simulations and online training materials to supplement the lab sessions.<rule/></paragraph>
	<paragraph>The research laboratories, established as industry collaborations are listed under <link url="./collaborations.xml#Research Laboratories">collaborations</link>.</paragraph>

	<section caption="Analog Electronics Laboratory">
	<paragraph>This is where the undergraduates get to know the devices (from resistors to operational amplifiers); basic instruments (from multimeter to spectrum analyzers) and techniques (from circuit design &amp; simulation to synthesis) in analog electronics.</paragraph>
	<paragraph>This is one of the first laboratories the freshers to ENTC have sessions in. Hence, the laboratory plays a pivotal role in letting the students appreciate what 'electronic engineering' is.</paragraph>
