Cutting-edge learning facilities
Spartan Centre for Instrumentation Excellence
This centre of excellence integrates labs and workshops for our Instrumentation Engineering Technology students to ensure you receive a world-class educational experience.
You'll have a chance to apply the knowledge you gain to cutting-edge smart instrumentation and control systems, networked & wireless communications, and advanced optimization software to help meet industries' toughest automation challenges.
Distributed Control System lab
When you train in this lab, you'll get a hands-on introduction to some of the communication techniques used by devices in the industry.
You will learn to configure and analyze modular control strategies and software applications using leading DCS technology and, in more advanced courses, to design an operator interface to monitor and control simulated process operations.
Analyzer lab
In this lab, you'll have access to a dedicated space to test instruments that measure parameters like humidity, turbidity and gas composition that influence product quality in many industrial processes.
Instrumentation workshop
Here, you have the opportunity to hone your maintenance skills using specialized hand tools and power equipment.
Process lab
This lab is outfitted with two new advanced compressor control training systems. These systems use patented Alberta technology to teach you strategies to help achieve greater fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.
Endress + Hauser Instrumentation Engineering Technology Process lab
Equipped with the latest flow and interface measurement technologies, guided-wave radar instruments and nuclear density profiling systems, you'll learn about the fundamentals of flow and measurement in this lab.

Energy and Environment
Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
