Engineering is a 4 yr course which includes 6 months training . Larger lecture halls are preferred here.Access to the lecture halls is best separated from research facilities with the shortest available route from outside to the back of the lecture theatre.

Research related laboratories mostly in smaller rooms with special equipments and additional practical spaces like
