ENGINEERING IN PRACTICE
From an algorithm to a working system
Explore the equipment behind our teaching: industrial controllers, building services, measurement systems and connected devices. Laboratory work brings programming and control theory together through practical engineering tasks.
Explore the equipment and practical work in each laboratory.
Hands-on training in Siemens industrial control, PLC programming and automation algorithms for energy, manufacturing and other process industries.
A laboratory for HIL and SIL simulation of automated process complexes, digital-twin modelling and controller and supervisory-control development.
Training rigs combine physical engineering systems and software models to demonstrate building automation, central control and efficient building operation.
Six laboratory stands introduce industrial measurement systems, instrumentation, signal processing, data visualisation and measurement-channel design.
A working heating-system stand demonstrates automatic control of direct and mixed circuits using temperature sensors, a boiler, a valve and thermostats.
Students configure Cisco network equipment, simulate faults and practise troubleshooting with Cisco Packet Tracer and CCNA course elements.
Part of the international EduNet network, the laboratory supports industrial automation and IIoT training with Phoenix Contact control equipment and software.
The laboratory supports programming and design courses, then extends into embedded controllers, real-time systems, cyber-physical systems and industrial IoT.
A connected Raspberry Pi 4 laboratory for practical IoT and IIoT projects, web visualisation, SCADA development and industrial data integration.
An Industry 4.0 demonstration links building services, multimedia, security devices and teaching equipment through a Raspberry Pi 3 control system.
