Labs and Simulation Spaces

In the GE Revolution Dual energy CT room students and researchers use technology needed to simulate and perform real-world CT procedures including research. This area is used by Mohawk staff and students as well as external research professionals.

The Diagnostic Sonography Lab provides a realistic clinical environment where students can develop hands-on ultrasound skills. This space includes dedicated scanning bays and professional equipment, allowing learners to practice patient care, build confidence and prepare for real clinical placements.

Commonly referred to as the “Dirty Room,” this specialized workspace is designed for the fabrication and finishing of aircraft composite parts. It houses a CNC machine used to create molds and tooling essential for composite manufacturing. The room also accommodates grinding, sanding, and trimming operations, ensuring that all finishing tasks are performed in a controlled environment.

In the Drafting Lab, students develop the skills needed to read, create and interpret technical drawings used in the skilled trades. Working with industry-standard software and drafting tools, learners practice producing precise plans, layouts and schematics that reflect real construction and manufacturing requirements. The lab provides a hands-on environment where students refine their accuracy, attention to detail and understanding of design standards essential for success in trades and technical fields.

In this lab students complete projects that simulate typical work in residential, commercial or industrial settings. Students work on everything from wiring installations in a dwelling unit to motor control in a commercial setting to programming AC and DC drives that would be typical in industry.

First-year students from all three Mohawk aviation technician programs—Aircraft Maintenance, Aircraft Structures and Avionics Maintenance—will use this lab to learn basic electrical and electronic theory, providing them with fundamental hands-on skills in circuit diagnostics and repair.

Electronic circuits and devices play a vital role in our modern society and our reliance on electronics will continue to increase. In this lab students explore the fundamentals of electronic circuits and devices by designing, building and testing industry-standard circuitry. This hands-on experience equips students with the essential skills needed to thrive in an increasingly electronic-driven world.

In the Electronics Lab, students learn how to diagnose, test and repair the electrical and electronic systems found in today’s vehicles. Using industry-standard diagnostic tools, wiring schematics and component test benches, learners practice everything from basic circuitry and soldering techniques to advanced troubleshooting of sensors, control modules and multiplexed systems. The lab provides a hands-on environment where students build the foundational skills needed to confidently service modern automotive electronics.

The Elevating Device Lab is equipped with a range of equipment commonly used by elevator mechanics in the field. In this lab, students engage in practical tasks that closely resemble those they will perform on job sites. This lab includes a traction elevator, a hydraulic elevator, two shafts for constructing various elevator components, a lift for individuals with disabilities, an escalator and various controllers designed to enhance troubleshooting skills.
