OpenMultiLab

Lab Coordinator: Prof. Filippo Attivissimo

Located on the -1 floor of the “Luigi Salvatore” building, OpenMultiLab laboratory was funded by Puglia Region through the European Social Fund* to enhance the academic counseling services for Apulian universities. It is available for students of the Engineering, Architecture and Industrial Design bachelor’s and master’s programs at Polytechnic University of Bari and has been managed for years by the Electrical and Electronic Measurements Research Group. OpenMultiLab aims to develop students’ skills, enabling them to tackle technological challenges, encouraging interdisciplinary dialogue promoting collaboration among students from various degree programs, to strengthen their teamwork abilities.

3 different open and multidisciplinary laboratories

ICT lab

Focused on design in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and electronics, emphasizing non-formal learning—specifically, hands-on experience—with the technologies that pervade various aspects of life.

Industrial and mechatronic lab

Focused on showcasing and utilizing cutting-edge technologies in energy, mechanical, and mechatronic domains. State-of-the-art software are used for the design and simulation of complex systems, enhancing innovation and practical application.

Additive and subtractive manufacturing lab

Focused on advanced design and eco-design technologies and methodologies across civil, environmental, industrial and architectural engineering, utilizing modern and flexible design and drawing software.

Multimedia laboratory for Engineering and Architecture

Focused on advanced design and eco-design technologies and methodologies across civil, environmental, industrial and architectural engineering, utilizing modern and flexible design and drawing software.

In OpenMultiLAB, students can continuously assess their knowledge, enhancing their skills through in-depth study in relevant sectors. The three labs are equipped with professional software, advanced instruments, industrial sensors, prototyping systems, technological demonstrators, consumer hardware. Theay are always supervised by the expertise of teachers, researchers, and technicians.

The goal is to reduce the number of students who fall behind and lower dropout rates in higher education. By bridging the gap between theory and practical application, students become more competitive in the job market, improving their technological, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
