Technical Laboratories

State-of-the-art equipment for practical learning

Learning in state-of-the-art laboratories: The technical laboratories at the FHV are equipped to the highest standards and are open to students, researchers and, in some cases, engineers from industry.

All the computer programmes you need for your studies are available to you in the form of campus licences or open-source software, which you can also use on your personal computer.

Electronic Lab

The Electronic Lab (eLab) is used for learning and research purposes for all degree programmes with technical components. Longer-term projects can also be worked on in the attached electronics workshop and prototypes can be built in the production line. Projects from the fields of electrical engineering, measurement technology, signal processing, control engineering and power electronics can be worked on.

Focal points:

Electrical engineering fundamentals
Electronics (analog and digital technology)
Industrial electronics/power electronics
Measurement technology
Signal processing
Control engineering
Prototype design (design, simulation, construction, test) of modern electronics - circuits

Task areas:

Training in the entire field of electronics
Conducting industrial and student project work
Circuit design and simulation analog, digital, mixed - signal
Design and fabrication of printed circuit boards (prototypes)
Automatic assembly and test of circuits
Microprocessors and microcontrollers
Embedded Systems

Mechanical Lab

The work in the Mechanical Lab (mLab) covers the areas of measurement and production technology as well as materials testing. One focus is the machining of complicated turned and milled parts. A serial and a parallel kinematic CNC milling center as well as a turning and milling center with driven tools are available for 5-axis machining. Programming the machines using CAM is just as much a part of the lab's work as reverse engineering using 3D digitizing.
