Over €600,000 is to be spent to modernise and upgrade the equipment infrastructure of the Control Systems Engineering Laboratory in the Department of Systems and Control Engineering at University. The project is part-financed by the European Union under the European Regional Development Fund 2007-2013.

The project involves the purchase and installation of state-of-the-art equipment including process control, mechatronics, robot control, programmable logic control, computer-aided design tools for control system design, embedded control systems, vision-based automation and automatic access control.

The modernisation of this laboratory, which services the University's practical teaching and research in the area of automatic control engineering will serve to attract students to specialise in this area, and enable joint research with overseas universities and research institutions, and development projects with industry.
