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.

The FANUC Robotics Lab provides hands-on training with industry-standard industrial robots used in modern manufacturing and automation. Students learn robotic programming, operation, and safety while working on real-world applications such as material handling and automated processes. The lab builds practical skills needed for careers in robotics, automation, and advanced manufacturing.

Room C143 is a dedicated academic fitness lab designed to support hands-on learning, standardized testing, and applied training. This dynamic space mirrors professional fitness and assessment environments, allowing students to train and evaluate performance in a structured, safe, and supportive setting. Used by students in our Justice programs for standardized physical testing and occupational readiness training, the lab also serves learners in the Health, Wellness and Fitness program.

Prepare for a career in the rapidly growing game design industry. Develop the design, technical and artistic skills used in game production, and examine ethical questions about content creation and workplace interactions.

Gas Heat Technicians are responsible for operating, troubleshooting and maintaining a diverse range of natural gas and propane appliances within the gas & oil burner lab. This role ensures that all equipment is properly serviced, restored and maintained to operate at optimal efficiency and in full compliance with safety standards.

Focused on quantitative chemical analysis and wet chemistry techniques, equipped with two new flame photometers for measuring metal ion concentrations such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and lithium.

A foundational laboratory where students develop essential industry‑related skills in titration, pH measurement, and core wet‑chemistry techniques used across environmental, chemical, and biotechnology technician roles.

In the GM Service Training Lab students gain hands-on experience using the same tools, technology and diagnostic equipment found in modern dealerships. The lab simulates a real GM service environment, allowing learners to work on late-model vehicles, troubleshoot complex automotive systems and practice industry-standard repair procedures.

This 25,000 square foot lab opens directly onto the air side of the Hamilton International Airport. Together with planes kept on the airport apron, Mohawk College has a fleet of aircraft comprised of helicopters, small prop planes, corporate jets and a commercial passenger jet.

The variety of aircraft ensure students from all three aviation technician programs—Aircraft Maintenance, Aircraft Structures and Avionics Maintenance—gain experience on the types of aircraft they will encounter after graduation.
