This laboratory houses a wide range of equipment including spectrophotometers, chromatographs and thermal analysers. They are used to determine the purity of materials and the structure of compounds. The student can also use the powerful PCB layout features to produce all files required for the manufacture of printed circuit boards. Multimedia Student have access to an extensive range of equipment this enabling them to experience all aspects of communications technology. Each workstation provides the test and measurement equipment required to build and develop prototype analogue and digital circuits, populate and test in-house manufactured printed circuit boards.
Equipment includes oscilloscopes, function generators, multi-meters etc.
For the more advanced there is access to powerful tools such as spectrum and logic analysers. PIC A range of tools and equipment allowing students to develop and customise commercial electronic devices. Equipment includes software development tools including incircuit evaluation and emulation. In circuit debugging equipment as well as programming software and hardware. The CIM lab is a specialist lab, which enables the student to experience the crossover between mechanical, software and electronic engineering.
