Year 2 Labs

The Engineering Practice and Design unit offers a comprehensive insight into practical engineering and design topics. This includes lectures on a range of topics such as PCB Design and Manufacture, Programming and embedded system, Circuit, Instrumentation and Power, and more. Beyond technical knowledge, the module also integrates vital skills like Sustainability and transferable skills. To assess understanding and skill acquisition, you will be required to curate a portfolio using Mahara.

Welcome to the Engineering Practice and Design Lab Space


This website is the home for the lab scripts and exercises that you will complete while studying EE22005 Engineering Practice and Design. Please use the links above to navigate to the appropriate labs. You will find a breakdown for each week below, along with any additional information.

  • Please ensure that you arrive promptly for the start of each session as you may be given important introductory instructions.
  • Lecturers and lab demonstrators will be on hand to help you, but we expect you to use your common sense.

  • For most of the labs you will be in groups of 2 or 3; one group per computer and equipment.
    • However, for some of the computer programming labs, it would be beneficial for you to be carrying out the tasks individually.
    • Therefore, we would encourage you to bring a laptop, if you have one.
