Academy · Lab courses

Learn by building, measuring and troubleshooting.

All lab courses take place at the Fluid Machines Lab of the University of Sannio in Benevento.

Hands-on by design

Small groups. Real hardware. Practical decisions.

Each course works directly with equipment, measurement and system behaviour. Groups stay deliberately small so every participant can build, test and troubleshoot—not watch from the back of a room.

Learning path

Basic Level Courses

Pneumatics Electropneumatics

Advanced Engineering Courses

Pneumatics Electropneumatics

Standalone course

Energy Efficiency

Complements either pneumatics line

Specialized Module

Industrial Vacuum Systems & Handling

Standalone or combined with any Basic or Advanced course

Advanced goes deeper and can be taken directly or after Basic. Expect some overlap between the two levels.
