Labs

In the Engineering Technology Department, our students have access to many labs and work spaces to facilitate their learning.  Below we highilight some of those labs and activities.

 VET 170A - Power Lab

This lab is where the Mechatronics students would learn about both digital and analog electronic circuits.  It also houses a different version of Programmable Logic Controllers.  These allow our students to get hands on experience with programming and fault detection while moving items along different processes.

DSB 150 - Electronics Power Lab

 Overview of DSB 150  DSB150 PowerTrainer

This lab houses the Mechatronic's power trainers.  Here students will learn about motors and use higher voltage equipment.  Pictured on the right is one of several power trainers where teams will hook up different motors with different loads to investigate their properties.
