In light of serving the undergraduate and postgraduate courses, Electrical Engineering (EE) department host various laboratories in electronics, communications, electrical power as well as computer engineering in order to provide students with the hands-on-skills that are necessary in their engineering career. The labs are equipped with state-of-the-art, standalone and computer-based facilities such as development boards, modules, devices and instruments. Students will get extensive experience through performing experiments in work group, collecting and analyzing data, discussion, sharing information with each others and submitting reports. All the required information and details about the experiments and their steps, and how to use the collected data to reach conclusion are provided in the student’s lab-manual for each course in electrical engineering curriculum. Moreover, EE students receive support during preparation and performing the experiments from their professors, teaching assistants and technicians.
