Telecommunications Laboratories
The Telecommunications Laboratories enable our IT students to learn in a practical way using modern equipment. Networks, components, circuit boards, routers, and switches become familiar through assignments and projects.
Mobile systems and programming are also a central part of the studies in telecommunications engineering and software engineering.
Two laboratories are available and presented in more detail here: the Telecommunications Engineering Laboratory and the Embedded Systems Laboratory.
Telecommunications Engineering Laboratory
In the Telecommunications Engineering Laboratory, students practice the installation, configuration, maintenance, and troubleshooting of various networking devices and related services. Typical devices used include switches, routers, firewalls, and various servers, such as NAS network storage servers and rack servers. These servers can run virtual machines in virtualization environments, using operating systems such as Windows or Linux.
The laboratory also allows students to build, configure, and maintain cloud-based systems. Both commercial and open-source solutions are used as virtualization environments. In addition, students practice installations related to structured cabling systems, including twisted pair, coaxial, and fiber optic cabling, and the necessary measurement equipment is available for performing measurements. The laboratory also provides the opportunity to practice disassembling and assembling computers from different components.

Embedded Systems Laboratory
In the Embedded Systems Laboratory, students have access to a versatile set of equipment that they use in pairs. The laboratory provides an excellent opportunity to develop not only programming skills but also important teamwork and project skills. Each workstation includes separate computers for the student pair as well as an adjustable power supply, an oscilloscope, a function generator, and a multimeter.
The focus of the teaching is on low-level programming of microcontrollers as well as connecting and commissioning different peripheral circuits and actuators. At SeAMK, mainly widely available microcontrollers are used, which makes it easier to transfer skills and continue practicing beyond the studies.
Programming is carried out almost entirely in the C programming language. In software development, open-source solutions are preferred whenever possible.
