The main aim of this lab is to study the characteristics of sensors and electrical transducers and their various practical applications like measuring pressure, force, speed, acceleration, temperature, etc.
When these sensors give an electrical signal which is proportional to the physical variable that should be measured, then it will be adapted through a special designed adaptive circuit, for reading those variables on the personal computers or any digital screen. Some of the experiments require controllers (adjustment controller and microcontrollers) in order to deal with the sensor’s feedback. The lab lessons are usually given to the 2nd stage students (Control and Mechatronics branches / morning study) two hours a week, while for the evening study, two hours every two weeks and for the 3rd stage (Control and Mechatronics branches / morning and evening study) two hours weekly / 15 students for each lab lesson. For the Medical Systems Control branch, these lessons are given for two hours every two weeks, 3 students each lesson. In addition, this lab is associated with students of the 4th stage in helping them with their graduation projects, as well as manufacturing some of the other labs instruments.

It is to make this lab one of the distinctive and pioneer labs in various electronic systems as well as preparing an engineering staff that is capable of facing various kinds of problems and engineering work obstacles.
This lab aims to:
1- Enrich the students with various sensors and transducers for feedback experiments in order to deal with them within various kinds of control systems.
2- Enabling the student to control and operate machines, instrument in a factory or facility and electrical stations automatically (automation), where the student becomes able to write various programs in digital ladder language to manage the speed control of a system using computers or any sequence process like elevators, traffic lights or transporting belts, etc. In addition, the student is trained to connect the input/output items with PLC devices in a practical way.
