University of Cagliari
The Multifunctional Laboratory – a division of the L.I.D.I.A. Laboratory – can accommodate 60 students and is equipped with 30 workstations, one of which features an ergonomic desk for individuals with motor disabilities. Each workstation is equipped with a PC, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and a power strip.
All computers are connected to the University network.
The computers include various software tools for simulating dynamic systems, developing programs/systems for equipment management, and analyzing experimental data.
In addition, various devices are available for conducting educational experiments in different fields of engineering.
Access to the laboratory, outside of the official activities scheduled by the Faculty, is allowed by submitting a specific request to the Dean. The request form is available here in editable PDF format.
