Engineering programs are supported by state-of-the-art laboratories open
to all engineering students. These laboratories and workshops are
managed by qualified and dedicated staff.
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers various
laboratory courses to cover the main topics in the fields of concrete
and pavement design, environmental engineering, mechanics of materials,
soil mechanics, hydraulics, field surveying, geophysical and engineering
graphics.
The lab equipment is continuously upgraded and updated to ensure that
our students are exposed to the most recent and advanced systems. The
department also secures highly accurate and professional testing
facilities such as spectrophotometry, strain gauging, triaxial testing,
open and closed channel flow measurements, and total station
application. Most of the lab facilities are connected to data
acquisition systems. In addition, field equipment are available for
in-situ testing, such as soil investigation, groundwater and surface
water testing, and concrete quality control.
Professional commercial testing as well as community services are also performed on a regular basis in the above areas.
The Department of Electrical, Computer and Communication Engineering has
several laboratories, which support teaching in the areas of
communication systems, electronic circuit design, including
microprocessors and programmable logic controllers, instrumentation,
electric machines, power electronics, control systems, and digital
signal processing. The laboratories are also used by students for
executing their engineering project designs. The equipment is regularly
updated to ensure that students are exposed to the best possible
laboratory experience.
State-of-the-art laboratory equipments are being used in the Department
of Mechanical Engineering for training purposes. The list includes a
large wind tunnel for aerodynamics testing, energy testing facilities
(solar systems, combustion, etc.), turbomachinery testing systems
(pumps, fans, Pelton wheel, turbines, etc.), air-conditioning testing
units (heating, cooling, refrigeration, etc.), mechatronics and
instrumentation equipment, mechanical vibration benches, and mechanical
components and systems. A full workshop made of a set of machine-tools,
including a CNC machine, is used for student training and regular
machining needs. The laboratories are constantly maintained and updated
to integrate new concepts, and to keep up with advancements in different
mechanical engineering fields.
