 | Food Processing Laboratory (Technology Blk, Level 6) Equipped with pilot plant scale food processing equipment and analyzers, the Food Processing Laboratory provides a realistic hands-on learning environment for learners who seek to achieve mastery of operating and maintaining equipment and product testing skills all in one purpose-built setting. It is a versatile training facility where learners unravel the miracles of Food Science while performing scientific experiments with laboratory scale equipment and utensils. The laboratory is used to facilitate authentic learning for students to attain proficiency in the skills required for shelf life studies and food quality evaluation. |
ITE Centre for Healthcare Simulation Training (Technology Blk, Level 6) This facility is built to simulate the real world of nursing. Using simulated high fidelity mannequins, the state-of-the-art training facility can realistically simulate unanticipated, unusual or critical medical events for the students to apply their nursing skills in different scenarios. In addition, the Centre enables the students to experience different medical events that they may not otherwise encounter during their hospital attachment. Teaching in this near real-life environment can train the students to a higher level of preparedness to meet the increasing demand to serve the expectations of sophisticated patients. |  |
