These classrooms are used for teaching in the 4 current degree programs, both in the morning (2nd and 3rd year courses of Technical Engineering), as well as in the afternoon (1st year courses of Technical Engineering, 4th and 5th year of Computer Engineering and Master's), and are considered adequate for the current enrollment of 649 students.

Laboratories

Below, we describe the laboratories available for practical instruction. Due to the strong practical component of the proposed degree program, it is essential to have adequate scientific and technical resources for student training. These resources are described as either specific or general laboratories. The former, managed by the departments that teach at ESIT, are laboratories where students from various degree programs, in addition to the proposed program, carry out their practical training. General laboratories refer to the ICT infrastructure used both for practical instruction in Computer Engineering subjects and for independent student use. These latter laboratories are located in the same area as the theory classrooms at ESIT and are for the exclusive use of students in the proposed degree program.
Some of the specialized laboratories are located within the center's main building, while others are situated in departmental offices and on the ESIT campus. All of them are fully accessible to people with reduced mobility who require wheelchair use.

Specific Laboratories

The following tables provide information about the laboratories, grouped by department. In addition to the laboratory's name, they specify its size, the number of workstations, a brief description of the equipment used, and an estimate of the budget allocated in the last academic year for updating and maintaining its resources. This maintenance is funded from the respective departments' budgets.

(*) It has an extra computer for the teacher to use, with dual output for the monitor and the projector.

 

As indicated in the first column, some of these classrooms have been provided by companies/organizations external to the University through collaboration agreements.

In addition, there are several carrels (offices for students to work in groups) equipped with computers and communication infrastructure. Currently, there are three carrels with one computer each and Project Room 1 with three Macs. These offices are in high demand for group work as well as for the development of current Final Year Projects.

The total number of computers currently available to students is 266, with an approximate ratio of one computer for every two students enrolled at ESIT, one of the highest ratios in the country. Furthermore, the classrooms are adequately sized for the number of students expected in the practical groups for the various subjects. Access to the facilities is free for all ESIT members during continuous hours, 11 hours a day, Monday through Friday.

It is also worth noting that all computers have broadband internet access, with a state-of-the-art communications infrastructure that provides network connection speeds of 1Gbps.
