Student Labs

The division has many laboratories for use by students in classes and individual research projects.

Digital Logic

Room: PFT 2246

This lab reinforces the ideas taught in the digital logic courses—EE 2741 and EE 2742—including through the use of a hardware description language (Verilog). These are the first courses on combinational and sequential logic analysis and design.

Prototyping Breadboard

Power System Tools

Room: PFT 2274

EE 4003 Lab covering basic power system and component protection, including utility and industrial distribution systems, utility transmission lines and substations, interconnections, and generators.

The lab will cover AC and DC power flow analysis, active and reactive power compensation, linear sensitivity factors, contingency analysis, and available transfer capacity.

ECE Linux Workstation

Room: PFT 2241

The ECE Linux Student Workstation Laboratory provides computers for a number of undergraduate and graduate courses:

  • EE 4755 - Digital Design using Hardware Description Languages (Verilog)
  • EE 4702 - GPU Programming
  • EE 7722 - GPU Microarchitecture (and other accelerators)

Adjustable Speed Drives

Room: PFT 2270

The Adjustable Speed Drives Lab (EE 4492) provides students with hands-on experience in modeling, simulation, and real-time control of electric machines and drives. Using modern digital signal processor (DSP) platforms and power electronic converters, students learn how to implement, test, and analyze motor torque and control strategies for DC machines.

Electric Machine Design

Room: PFT 2269

Electric Machine Design Lab (EE 4422) introduces students to the major components of power systems, such as single- and three-phase transformers, synchronous generators, and single- and three-phase induction motors.

Power Electronics

Room: PFT 2269

The Power Electronics Lab (EE4460) provides hands-on experience with circuits and systems used for the conversion and control of electrical energy. Students learn the principles and applications of rectifiers, inverters, and dc-dc converters through experiments.
