Faculty Coordinator: Dr. Rahul Saraswat

Technical Assistant: Dr. Manish Awasthi

Brief Overview:

The IDEA Lab (Innovation, Design, Engineering, and Application Lab) is a dynamic, interdisciplinary innovation hub established to nurture creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on engineering skills among students. Designed as a collaborative space, the IDEA Lab empowers engineering students to turn their ideas into tangible solutions through access to advanced tools, prototyping equipment, mentorship, and industry exposure.

The lab fosters an ecosystem that bridges classroom learning with real-world application, encouraging students to explore emerging technologies such as Drone technology, IoT, robotics, 3D printing, and sustainable design. It promotes a culture of experimentation, collaboration, and entrepreneurship, equipping students with the mindset and skills required to become future-ready engineers and innovators.

The IDEA Lab is not just a workspace—it is a launchpad for engineering students to innovate, prototype, and transform their technical knowledge into impactful solutions that address real-world challenges.
