LABORATORIES INSTRUCTIONAL AND RESEARCH LABORATORIES
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has our (4) instructional laboratories and four research laboratories that are all located on the second floor of the A.P. Torrence Hall (Engineering and Technology building. A brief description of these laboratories follows:
CIRCUITS I LABORATORY (ENGR 2001) Room: ET-203 Area: 980 S.F. PURPOSE: The purpose of the Circuits I Laboratory is; (1) to introduce the student to the use of electrical test equipment, familiarize with the safety requirements, laboratory procedures and laboratory report format requirements; (2) to provide the student laboratory experiences that serve as a bridge between theory and practice; and (3) to provide experiences in the use of computer for circuit analysis, data acquisition and data analysis, (4) to provide experiences in data analysis, written communication and teaming. It has about 10 stations for experiments. DIGITAL LOGIC DESIGN LABORATORY (EE 3101) Room: ET-208 Area: 414 S.F. PURPOSE: The objective of the Digital Logic Design Laboratory is to provide the student experiences, in the design, setup and use of the digital laboratory equipment to conduct experiments, collect and analyze data, present technical reports using modern tools and gain experiences while working as member of a team. Gain experiences in he design of combinatorial and sequential logic circuits, counters, and microprocessor architecture and programming. It has about eight stations with computer on each station. ELECTRONICS LABORATORY (EE 3301) Room: ET-208 Area: 414 S.F. PURPOSE:
The objective of the Electronics Laboratory is to provide the student competency
in analyzing circuits that include applications of Op-Amps, transistors and
diodes, and to design single and multi-stage amplifier circuits, and filters.
The student should also learn to use software packages such as PSpice for
analysis and design, present results of analysis in written reports using modern
tools, and participate as a member of a team. It has about eight stations with
computer on each station. CONTROL SYSTEMS LABORATORY (EE 4001) Room: ET-202 Area: 414 S.F PURPOSE: The objective of the Control Systems Laboratory is to provide experiences in analyzing and designing open loop and closed loop position and velocity control systems. This laboratory will allow students to conduct tests and design projects related to servo motor control. This laboratory has eight (8) stations and computer on each station.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
DESIGN LABORATORY (EE 4101) Room: ET-201 Area: 441 S.F.
PURPOSE: The objective of the Electrical Systems Design Laboratory is to provide the student team design experiences. Students working in teams of two to three students will design complex electrical and electronic systems from the areas of communication systems, power systems, control systems and digital systems. Students also gain experiences in oral and written communication using modern tools and discuss impact of their design on society while considering ethics, safety, standards and constraints in their designs. This laboratory has eight (8) stations and computer on each station with various software packages. INTELLIGENT SIGNAL PROCESSING LABORATORY (Bio-Engineering) Room:
ET-205
Area: 414 S.F. PURPOSE: The objective of the Intelligent Signal Processing Laboratory and Biomedical Engineering is to provide the faculty and students a computer and instrumentation facility for research in the areas of Intelligent Signal Processing, Image Processing and Biomedical Engineering applications. Most of the research is in the areas of Neuro network applications to signal processing, health monitoring, predictive and preventive maintenance, nonlinear signal analysis using chaos analysis, wavelets and traditional signal processing and image processing techniques and recently added Biomedical engineering. Graduate and undergraduate students gain research experiences and develop Special Topics and Capstone Design Projects. Students also gain experiences in presentation of their projects and design project reports. COMPUTER AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS ENGINEERING (CISE) LAB Room:
ET-210 Area: 979 S.F.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this research laboratory is to provide facilities for research in the application of artificial neural networks for development of biologically motivated control systems such as spherical joint and intelligent controllers. This is also used for research in signal processing applications to health monitoring and predictive maintenance. Graduate and undergraduate students gain research experiences and develop Special Topics and Capstone Design Projects. Students also gain experiences in presentation of their projects and design project reports. RENEWABLE ENERGY RESEARCH LABORATORY Room: ET-212 Area: 414 S.F. PURPOSE: The objective of the Renewable Energy Research Laboratory is to provide research facility for research in Wind Power and Control and Communication requirements for Smooth Interface between utility and the Wind Power conversion System. Also to provide facility for videoconferencing and Unix workstations.
INTELLIGENT CONTROL SYSTEMS LABORATORY Room: ET-206 Area: 945 S.F. PURPOSE: The objective of the Intelligent Control Systems Laboratory is to provide research facility for research in Intelligent Controllers and Robot applications to predictive maintenance and biological systems and telepresence.
