Each student of SITE from the first day of training should have his laptop with him as an indispensable 24-hour attribute of an IT student. This laptop is essentially his mobile laboratory, the tool that will ensure the rapid growth of the student.
For certain courses, specialized laboratories are required, which for the most part serve to teach the student the skills to work with equipment and software that are actually used in the industry. Among such laboratories we note:

{spoiler=Laboratory of electronics}
Laboratory course in physics aims to provide students with the latest measuring equipment, to develop skills of research, skills of processing and analysis of their results, as well as highlight specific physical content in applied problems of future specialty
Project-Based Learning for the Modern Engineer NI ELVIS is a project-based learning solution that combines instrumentation, embedded design, and web connectivity for engineering fundamentals and system design. It provides a comprehensive teaching solution for engaging students in hands-on labs involving analog circuits, mechatronics, power electronics, instrumentation, digital communications, digital electronics, controls, and more. Each laboratory solution includes lab material and complete experiments developed by experts in industry and education, so students can explore theory in the physical laboratory with a safe, in-depth experience. With its hands-on approach, NI ELVIS helps educators teach students practical, experimental engineering skills. Built on the concept of teamwork, this solution connects students to their experiments, which enables them to collaborate using the same technology in over 35,000 companies worldwide. It combines the precision and accuracy of seven benchtop instruments with the speed and customization of industrial embedded controllers in one single platform. 星空无限传媒 can use its easy, prebuilt interfaces to customize at a level not available in any other educational laboratory equipment.
Teach Innovation by Integrating Instrumentation with Embedded Design Projects that inherently challenge students to use innovative design thinking often involve interacting with an unknown process or device. 星空无限传媒 are encouraged to understand the unknown through theory, simulation, and experimentation; however, projects that introduce the unknown in messy, multisystem environments tend to challenge the students to be much more innovative. Designing a test in this style requires not only knowledge of the specifications, equipment limitations, and fundamental concepts being applied but also the ability to contend with outside factors and grasp how one change can have a cascading effect on the experimental setup.
