Our specialised electrical engineering laboratories enable students to apply theoretical knowledge to practical engineering challenges.
Signals Laboratory (CB11.11.302)
This lab has 16 stations equipped with oscilloscopes, waveform generators, power supplies and multimeters for electrical signal measurement and processing. Students use telecommunications trainers and data acquisition systems to perform tasks like analog modulation and signal feedback control, primarily in the later stages of their studies.
Junior Circuits Laboratory (CB11.11.402)
A foundational lab with 50 stations for first-year Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics and ICT students. Each station is equipped with essential tools like digital storage oscilloscopes and function generators for building and testing low-voltage circuits.
Power Systems Laboratory (CB11.10.103)
This lab features 12 stations for experiments in electrical power systems, including single and three-phase supplies, motor construction, and power system protection. It supports practical learning in power generation, load sharing, and motor performance measurement.
Control Laboratory (CB11.22.300)
The Control Laboratory has 12 unique stations with scale models of real systems, like gantry cranes. Students conduct experiments to model, design and implement controllers, learning both analog and digital control methods.
Embedded Software Laboratory (CB11.11.404)
Focused on microcontroller programming, this lab provides 28 stations with flexible microcontroller boards, PCs with compiler software, and testing equipment. Students learn to program and test their microcontroller-based projects.
Embedded Projects Laboratory (CB11.11.404)
A specialised lab for detailed design tasks in Analog and Digital Electronics, as well as capstone projects. It offers facilities for circuit board assembly and ongoing project work, accommodating a small number of students who need to work on complex, extended tasks without interruption.
