The Level 2 Chemical Engineering laboratory comprises  of twenty-two bench-scale experiments which provide experience in measuring and estimating data relating to various aspects of basic Engineering. Examples include: determining the efficiency profile of a pump; behaviour of a gas fluidised bed; gas calorimetry; vapour pressure as a function of temperature (Ramsay-Young experiment); mixing in flow-through stirred vessels; distillation of toluene solutions; the drying of solids the nature of fluid flow and the dynamic response of sensors.

For levels 3 and 4 research projects the students are provided with workspace in the recently refurbished Multidisciplinary Nanotechnology Centre. Examples of equipment employed during undergraduate study in the characterisation and study of medical engineering processes include atomic force microscopy, fermentation rigs, particle characterisation, surface plasmon resonance; hydrodynamic shear adhesion assays; membrane separation rigs and rheometers.

Medical engineering students at all levels use facilities of The Electronic Systems group within the MNC that  has a variety of state-of-the art equipment. Facilities include:

• Design and Modelling laboratory equipped with Sun UNIX machines and TCAD (TSUPREM, MEDICI) softwares, as well as IC-CAP parameter extraction tool, SABER simulator and Synopsys IC design software suit.
• The centre has a fully equipped state of the art power electronics laboratory consisting of oscilloscopes, function generators, power analyzers, micro-processor development systems, spectrum analyzers, high voltage test equipment, thermal device characterisation equipment, and device characterisation equipment (including an HP4124 parameter analyzer, a probe station and CV characterisation equipment).
• It also houses a fully equipped clean room for power device fabrication including:
  • Plasma etch/deposition
  • E-beam metallisation
  • Sputtering, spin coating, mask alignment
  • Surface profiling
  • Wet/dry oxide growth
  • Acid etch
  • Rapid thermal anneal
• The fpga / cpld system development tools
