Mechanical and Automotive Engineering facilities

In the model making workshop you can make everything from industrial models to aesthetic prototypes. With rapid prototyping tools, disc, belt, and pillar sanders, band saws, casting facilities and spray paint booths at your disposal, you’ll have everything you need to turn your ideas into a reality. We also have industry standard specialist software in our computing labs including AA, AutoCAD, Catia, Creo (CAD – Computer Aided Design) and Matlab, Ansys (Analysis).

Our laboratories have a range of wind tunnel facilities and unique measurement equipment that covers a wide range of Machs number and Reynolds number applications.

Putting the materials you use through their paces is paramount in engineering, and our material testing lab is ideal for that. With the help of the Instron machine, you’ll be able to test a range of materials in both tension and compression, and to access detailed information about the modes of material failure that will shape your future designs.

Our Robotics and Automation Lab hosts a diverse range of platforms, spanning from DIY robot kits to advanced industrial grade collaborative arms and autonomous ground vehicles. This variety enables hands-on learning, experimentation, and innovation across multiple levels of robotics.
