The diversity of communication applications and the spectrum of system-level technologies upon which they rely provide a rich set of opportunities to develop projects allowing students to apply and integrate knowledge obtained from courses across the curriculum while simultaneously developing the spectrum of CAD, prototyping, and testing experiences critical to the engineering workplace. Through this project, a Communication System Prototyping Laboratory (CSPL) provides a curriculum-wide laboratory resource for integration of junior- and senior-level required and elective topics through multidisciplinary communication-based design experiences. The CSPL organization emulates the application-driven interdisciplinary environment of a corporate research and development laboratory through use of multiple "microlabs" within a single instructional lab linked by a prototype fiber optic backbone. As the foundation of the CSPL organization, the Lightwave Microlab supports student design activities based on lightwave communication applications with a Prototype Fiber Network; a Photonic Prototyping Center for student optoelectronic interfacing and optical prototyping; a Lightwave Test Measurement Center for component, transmission medium, and system-level evaluation; and a Photonic Reference Library. With basic infrastructure for other microlabs in place, this project specifically addresses the instrumentation needs of the Lightwave Microlab.

通信应用的多样性和他们所依赖的系统级技术的频谱提供了丰富的机会来开发项目，使学生能够应用和整合从课程中获得的知识，同时开发CAD，原型设计和测试经验的频谱工程工作场所的关键。 通过这个项目，通信系统原型实验室（CSPL）提供了一个跨学科的通信为基础的设计经验的初级和高级的必要和选修课题的整合全实验室资源。 CSPL组织通过使用由原型光纤骨干连接的单个教学实验室内的多个“微型实验室”来模拟企业研发实验室的应用驱动的跨学科环境。 作为CSPL组织的基础，光波微实验室支持学生设计活动的基础上，光波通信应用与原型光纤网络;光子原型中心的学生光电接口和光学原型;光波测试测量中心的组件，传输介质和系统级评估;和光子参考图书馆。 随着其他微型实验室的基础设施到位，该项目专门解决了光波微型实验室的仪器需求。
