A teaching lab is a facility equipped with tools, apparatus, test instruments, and courseware for educational purposes. These labs are usually located in schools, colleges, and universities.
For example, an electrical engineering lab has basic workbenches equipped with measurement instruments such as oscilloscopes, function generators, power supplies, and digital multimeters. There are common component racks and shelves with many drawers to store various electrical components such as diodes, resistors, capacitors, inductors, and integrated circuits. There are also instruction materials to guide students in performing practical experiments to complement their theoretical coursework.
