Laboratory work plays an important role in our curricula, and is used to verify or test the students' understanding of engineering phenomena. Practical work tests and solidifies the students' grasp of a particular subject, while also demonstrating various measurement techniques and tools. Laboratory timetables are drawn up at the beginning of each semester, dividing the class into groups of 3 or 4 persons.

All persons attending labs are required to bring along at least the following tools: 
  • 1 pair of side cutters,
  • 1 small screwdriver (2mm black)
  • 1 pair of long nose pliers
