Engineering laboratories
Our facilities include two Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) labs and two mechanical labs.
Electrical Machines Laboratory (located at The Engineering Centre)
Get hands-on with the technology behind electric vehicles, wind turbines, and smart energy systems.
Core Functions
- Monitoring renewable energy systems in real time
- Motor operation, control and testing
- Inverter design, harmonics and simulation
Electronics Laboratory (located at Tech Hub)
Whether you’re designing something from scratch or testing and troubleshooting your circuits, you’ll have the tools you need to make it happen.
Core Functions
- Design and test electronic circuits
- Generate and analyse signals
- Explore how current flows through electronic systems
- Turn your curiosity into innovation
Tensile Tester Laboratory (located at Tech Hub)
This lab is all about testing materials to their limits. Using high-tech tools like the Instron 100kN Tensile Tester, you’ll explore how materials bend, stretch and break, and why that matters in the real world.
Core Functions
- Impact Testing
- Tensile testing
- Compression and Bending Tests
- Flexural Testing
Fluid Mechanics Laboratory (located at The Engineering Centre)
In this lab, you’ll explore how fluids move through pipes and systems – just like in water treatment, heating systems, or energy plants, using equipment such as Venturi Meter, Hydraulic bench, etc.
Core Functions
- To understand the characteristics of fluids in pipes
- Measure, test and optimise fluid systems
