Measurement - Testing - Controlling Lab | Mechanical and Medical Engineering

Where technology meets precision

In the Measurement - Testing - Controlling Lab, devices and systems are used to carry out measurements, test components and control processes.

Among other things, electronic and physical signals are analysed, optical properties are measured and the functionality of components is tested.

The laboratory therefore offers a comprehensive infrastructure for recording and checking technical parameters.

The “Measurement - Testing - Control” laboratory serves various purposes in the faculty:

Laboratory for practical courses in the Internal link opens in the same window:Electrical Engineering (ELA) bachelor's programme
- measurement technology (operational amplifiers in practice, measurements of weight, displacement, angle of rotation, filling level, ...)
- Sensors & actuators (analysis of sensors and actuators)
Laboratory for practical courses in the Internal link opens in the same window:Smart Sysems (SMA) master's programme
- Telemetry/Telemedicine master's programme (wireless transmission of signals and energies to implants using the example of the cochlear implant; production of the implant)
- Microsensors & Microactuators (analysis of sensors and actuators, simulation of a sensor)
- Optoelectronics (application of optoelectronic components in optics and measurement technology)
Workplace for semester projects, bachelor's and Master's theses (individual students)
Elective courses on the topics of image processing, sensors, optics and control engineering
