In some ways, EB II 1014 looks more like a workshop than a computer lab. While it has 12 computers for students to use, there are two large workbenches to give students ample space to complete all their laboratory experiments, as well as other equipment to aide students with their problems.

The '''Integrated Circuit Design Lab''' contains 32 student workstations in order to accommodate courses with larger class sizes. Each workstation runs Red Hat's Enterprise Linux distribution and contains powerful current-generation hardware and the maximum amount of system memory, providing students with powerful and efficient machines to use for programming and simulation. These powerful machines and industry applications are provided thanks to the support of the ECE Department's industry partners, including Synopsys, Mentor Graphics, and Cadence.

The Computer Organization and Logic Lab is used by the ECE 206, Introduction to Computer Organization, classes. The class itself introduces students to the key ideas of effieciently organizing a computer, not only the hardware but the software as well. The lab will reinforce these concepts by giving students exposure to basic computer software and hardware. Microprocessor design, switching circuits, and direct memory access are some of the hardware concepts students will work with, while logic access, assembly language programming, and number representation are some of the software ideas students will deal with. ECE 206 students will also familiarize themselves with the LC3 and Cygwin, both unique to this class and lab.

Classes in this lab primarily focus on integrated circuits, a major foundation of modern electronics. Topics range from analog circuits to more complex concepts such as VLSI (very-large-scale integration) and ASIC (application specific integrated circuits). Students utitlize a wide range of softwares and tools as well as FPGA development hardware for assignments and projects that require computer modeling and simulation, debugging, and verification.

Integrated Circuit Design Lab

The Integrated Circuit Design Lab contains 32 student workstations in order to accommodate courses with larger class sizes. Each workstation runs Red Hat's Enterprise Linux distribution and contains powerful current-generation hardware and the maximum amount of system memory, providing students with powerful and efficient machines to use for programming and simulation. These powerful machines and industry applications are provided thanks to the support of the ECE Department's industry partners, including Synopsys, Mentor Graphics, and Cadence.

Classes in this lab primarily focus on integrated circuits, a major foundation of modern electronics. Topics range from analog circuits to more complex concepts such as VLSI (very-large-scale integration) and ASIC (application specific integrated circuits).
