EIF Teaching Laboratories website

The experimental and highly specialized nature of engineering studies such as telecommunications, aerospace, biomedical or software robotics, requires that each week the 1200 students of the school can carry out their undergraduate classes in teaching laboratories equipped with very diverse laboratory teaching material. , with highly specialized hardware and software.

At the EIF we are especially concerned about this aspect of teaching: more and more subjects are taught entirely in laboratories. Many others have laboratory teaching every week.

These are the 25 teaching laboratories that the EIF URJC maintains on the Fuenlabrada Campus. If you don't know them, sign up to come and be shown to you on site at the URJC Fuenlabrada campus:
