Engineering facilities
Our Department of Design, Manufacture & Engineering Management (DMEM) was refurbished in 2014 and is well equipped with state-of-the-art tools to help design, prototype, manufacture and perform research on a broad range of items. We have one of the UK’s only digital design suites to combine virtual & physical design & prototyping.

In Biomedical Engineering we have a unique breadth of specialist facilities with capabilities in device design and associated modelling, prototyping, materials testing and in-vitro and ex-vivo testing. Our facilities are some of the best in Scotland and across Europe and include a large dedicated motion analysis laboratory (140 square metres) with integrated Vicon Nexus system and multi-axis Kistler Force Platforms.

Our Architecture department has a number of different facilities and equipment including:
- Two fully-networked design studios. One is a drop-in studio, the other is dedicated to interactive design teaching using Promethean ActivBoards
- Our own reference library, in addition to the main University library
- A workshop with a Lasercutter and full range of hand and portable power tools, available under supervision

In 2014, our Civil & Environmental moved into a brand new state-of-the-art laboratory, office and conference space. Find out more about their geomechanics labs and environmental labs.
We’re home to the largest ship-model experiment tank in any UK university. Using this facility, we can determine the survivability of damaged ships, fluid structure-interaction for slender structures, sporting fluid dynamics and marine renewable energy.
