Laboratories within the Department
Project-based learning or hands-on experience is an essential part of acquiring knowledge in engineering education, where the role of experimental setup and use of advanced technology in solving real-world problems. Further, experimentation induces a desire to learn in students and supports them in understanding the practical aspects of engineering education. The department has an integrated laboratory that caters to students not only in the electrical and electronic engineering field but also in other engineering disciplines to perform experiments based on both the basic and advanced concepts of electrical science/engineering. The laboratory consists of several sub-laboratories that belong to the following sub-disciplines: AISP, BME, CIE, EI, PHE, and RCA, and all are well-equipped with several experimental setups, and packages for real-time experiments. In addition, a separate project area with well-equipped individual laboratory setups is allocated to students for their undergraduate projects and research work.

Computer Resources
The Department maintains its own autonomous Computer Network while still being a part of the main university network. This facility allows students to use some of the advanced simulation tools for their laboratory, project and research work. The continuous research and development in the department give the opportunity to students to conduct their projects and research in multi-disciplinary areas in electrical and electronic engineering and showcase their projects to the public and the industry in the annual student project symposium organized by the department.
INDUSTRY SPONSORED LABORATORIES
Sri Lanka Telecom Research Laboratory
The installed lab setup demonstrates a service provider IP network. The setup consists of every major node in an IP network and an end-to-end simulation of IP services. Students are able to gain knowledge on a service provider IP network and get a hands-on experience on each node in the system since it is completely standalone. Therefore, this will undoubtedly be a valuable addition to the department.
