Undergraduate Digital Design and Prototyping Laboratory

一个新的实验室为大三和大四的学生提供电气工程设施，用于项目设计：在类似于工业研究实验室的环境中进行建模、原型和测试。学生拥有完成重要项目的资源，也更熟悉他们在开始职业生涯时将遇到的环境。实验室包括：(1)学生工作台，以提供对持续需要的设备(联网PC、电源、万用表、示波器和电路板组装工具)的即时访问；(2)微型实验室，包含每个学生经常但不是持续需要的设备(打印机、逻辑分析仪、计数器、函数发生器、脉冲发生器和逻辑故障排除工具包)；以及(3)由联网到实验室工作台和大学计算机系统的486 PC提供的计算资源。实验室设备由一个资源中心补充，包括一个部件仓库、一个设计库和一个设备库。

A new laboratory provides juniors and seniors in Electrical Engineering facilities for project design: modeling, prototyping, and testing in an environment similar to that of an industrial research laboratory. Students have the resources to complete significant projects and also become more familiar with the environment they will encounter upon starting careers. The laboratory includes: (1) student workbenches to provide immediate access to continuously needed equipment (a networked PC, power supply, multimeter, oscilloscope, and circuit board assembly tools); (2) mini-laboratories containing equipment (printer, logic analyzer, counter, function generator, pulse generator, and logic troubleshooting kit) often but not continually needed by each student; and (3) computing resources served by a 486 PC networked to laboratory workbenches and the university computer system. The laboratory equipment is supplemented by a resource center including a component warehouse, a design library, and an equipment pool.
