At ECST, we go beyond theory by providing practical, industry-aligned learning through both our innovative online labs and immersive, hands-on workshops.
Workshops
While our remote labs are contextualised within industry and are more comprehensive than most traditional classroom-based programmes, hands-on workshops provide you with tacit knowledge and familiarity in the use of discipline-related equipment and materials. They ensure you are competent in using practical tools, workplace safety, physical measurement, experimentation, construction, assembly, and working in an engineering team.
Our Online Labs
Our lab hosting platform, Electromeet, connects you with lab computers in real-time. Once connected, you will have access to a wide range of engineering software and connected hardware, which will be used in practical assessments throughout your programme.
The labs consist of:- Virtual labs: computers hosting software for a multitude of engineering applications, including modeling and analysis, science education, programming, power network design, construct models, design and drafting, project management, industrial process control, and virtual plant field operations.
- Remote labs: computers connected to physical equipment and sensors equivalent to an international university engineering lab. These practicals are interactive, controllable, variable, and viewable over webcams in real-time, with examples including; data communication and protocols, scientific instrumentation, physical experimentation, the control and observation of circuits, systems and machinery, and robotic automation.
