This is a teaching and prototype development laboratory, featuring twelve identical networked computer-automated experimentation workstations.

Each station is centered around a personal computer equipped with data acquisition and control hardware, and run in real time under instrumentation monitoring and control software. Each station features a general-purpose electronics prototyping board with programmable power supply and software-implemented function generator, multimeter and oscilloscope. This is interfaced to a number of instrument modules for a variety of experimental tests, including: a biological microscope with digital camera, a strain gage application station with Wheatstone bridge and monitoring instrumentation, a thermocouple welding and measurement dial equipment, a LED bank and photometer for illumination control, a sound meter and cassette recorder for acoustic monitoring, a pneumatic cylinder/motor for actuation analysis, and a X-Y servosystem/robot with DC servomotors and stepper motors for computer-controlled manipulation. Each station is also equipped with a full set of hand tools, a digital micrometer and a calibre, and a digital multimeter for general prototyping and experimentation. This laboratory also features a small-scale aerodynamic tunnel and a water-flow table for educational testing and demonstrations.
 
The laboratory is used by teams of students for hands-on projects in a number of courses throughout the undergraduate and graduate program of the department.
