Integrated Circuit Design Lab
The Integrated Circuit Design Lab contains 33 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.
