Labs and Simulation Spaces

In the Rotating Machines and Power Systems Lab students engage in connection and analysis of AC and DC generating systems, as well as motors and motor control systems. They work with single and three-phase transformers, exploring the behaviour of inductive, capacitive and resistive loads. Additionally, students analyze and address power quality issues, gaining hands-on experience in diagnosing and correcting inefficiencies within electrical systems.

In this shop students will learn everything from the fundamentals of sheet metal to advanced techniques, to ensure they are well-equipped for real-world challenges. Experience the complexities of sheet metal projects through realistic simulations that will prepare you for the demands of the job.

This gymnasium is a specialized learning space reserved exclusively for Social Justice programs, supporting hands-on, movement-based training tied to the curriculum. It is used for physical conditioning, self-defence, scenario-based exercises, and team-building activities that help students develop confidence, situational awareness and practical skills relevant to their field. The space reinforces experiential learning by allowing students to apply theory in a controlled, supportive environment.

The Sonography Simulation Lab gives students the opportunity to practice ultrasound techniques in a safe and supportive learning environment. Using specialized equipment and guided simulations, learners can build confidence, develop scanning skills and prepare for real clinical experiences.

This shop is a dynamic learning hub where future steamfitters expand their knowledge and acquire specialized training to embark on rewarding careers. Steamfitters are the engineers behind the scenes, ensuring that steam, gas, and fluid systems run smoothly, from industrial power plants to state-of-the-art HVAC systems.

The Stores lab is where students learn about inventory management and parts identification from experienced faculty.

The Sustainable Design Lab at Mohawk College’s Fennell Campus provides students with a collaborative space to explore environmentally responsible design solutions. Through hands-on projects, students apply sustainable design principles, innovative technologies, and creative problem-solving to develop products, spaces, and systems that support a more sustainable future.

In the Systems Lab, students gain hands-on experience with aircraft electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and control systems, learning how to inspect, troubleshoot, and maintain the complex systems found in modern aircraft. 

The hub for Industry 4.0. It features PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), sensors, and actuators. Students learn to program automated assembly lines and integrate robotic arms.
