The laboratory facilities in the Department consist of the Electrical Engineering Laboratory, the Computer Engineering Laboratory, the Advanced Electronics Laboratory and the Electronics Workshop at the Colombo Regional Centre, Electrical Engineering Laboratories at Kandy and Matara regional Centres and at the Batticaloa Study Centre. In addition to the above, the students have access to the Elementary Computer Laboratories at most of the Regional and Study Centres island-wide. Skills in basic wiring and other related fields are imparted in the Mechanical Engineering Workshops of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Laboratory work involving high voltages in the course ECX5238 Electrical machines and high voltage engineering are carried out at the High Voltage Laboratories of the University of Moratuwa by arrangement with them.
